Word by itself doesn't have any such function. There is only the Caps Lock item
that is (optionally) shown in the status bar.
You can also go to Office button > Word Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect
Options, and make sure the "Correct accidental usage of cAPS LOCK key" box is
checked. That will turn off the Caps Lock and fix the case if you have it turned
on and you press Shift to type one character (in lower case) and then release it
and continue typing (in caps). This works only in Word and other Office
programs.
I have seen a "CAPS ON" popup when using a wireless keyboard, but that comes
from the keyboard driver and not from Word, and it only appears for a few
seconds after you press the Caps Lock key. If you have such a keyboard, you'll
probably find a setting for it in Start > Control Panel > Keyboard.
Windows also has a built-in application called Toggle Keys that makes a sound
when you press Caps Lock (or Num Lock or Scroll Lock). That's in Control Panel >
Ease of Access > Make the keyboard easier to use.
Finally, you may have been using a third-party utility. There are a number of
them available on the Net; look at
