I think this is a bug in Windows XP.
Colin, thanks for your help - it appears that the language bar is also the
speech bar you were talking about. This is part of Windows XP, not Office. I
was able to verify not only that removal of the language bar from the Task
bar resolves the problem, but that this also occurs on a clean installation
of Windows XP Pro SP1.
Unfortuantely, I use the lnaguage bar to switch between keyboard layouts.
Is posting here using my @community.nospam email address going to get this
officially logged as a bug?
