Office Button Pulses or Flashes. WHY? Under what ALL conditions?

[montecarlo1987]

Hello. Happy Holidays!

I have a question. I have Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate version installed
on my computer. The application I most love is OneNote 2007. Boy, is that a
handy program! I don't know what Office 2007 packages offer OneNote 2007. I
know for a fact that the Standard edition does not.

I have a question, some of the Office 2007 applications that utilize that
new ribbon along the top of the program interface will also have the round
Office button in the upper left corner. I have noticed at times that the
Office button pulsates or flashes (white to yellowish-gold, back and forth)
and at other times it does not, just remains white. Why at times does the
Office button pulsate or flash? Under what conditions? ...ALL CONDITIONS IT
WOULD MAKE IT FLASK OR PULSE PLEASE. What is it trying to tell me? I have
looked on the web trying to find an answer to this and I cannot find an
answer anywhere. It can get annoying at times, when I am in Word 2007 and it
just pulsates or flashes at me while I am writing a long report. ALSO, what
are the corrective measures, if they aren't obvious to stop this pulsating or
flashing. Please post reply. Thank you!

Ok, hope this helps because I went through the registration process on a
site I won't use.....

I had the same issue after a fresh install. I went into Word and
options and made a change or two, i.e. autosave time and default file
location, and the stupid button quit flashing.

Hope that works for you and everyone else that will be forced to move
to O2K7 in the future.

me2 out.

Hi 1987,

The flashing Office button should only be from a single type of event, not having yet clicked on it to go into the menus.

The flashing is a 'look at me'/'click here' feature as to many folks the button looks like just a decorative logo, rather than a
button to press to get to more 'stuff'.

If you're seeing it more than that it's possible that the userID you're on may not be able to write the registry change that tells
the Office 2007 apps that you have used the feature (i.e. stop blinking <g>).
