Spell check animation aggro

A small irritation:

I've turned off spell checking as I type, but find the little animated
scribble on the status bar still carries on, which I find incredibly
distracting... So much so that I'm driven to writing this, instead of what I
should be writing!

I can't find any way of turning this off. Is it possible? If not could there
be a little patch please which will turn it off???
 
If I disable "Check spelling as you type" *and* "Check grammar as you type"
in Word 2003, the status bar icon disappears, but ISTR that in previous
versions this didn't work. Various users find various things distracting.
Perhaps you should enable an Asian language so that you can be distracted by
corner "crop marks" instead. <g>

No, it doesn't work (I'm using Word 2002). But thanks. Or I guess I could
stick some tape over the monitor. Do you think MS will do something about
it?
 
Once again, I seem to be charmed. I wonder if it's something in the Fairhope
electricity. <g>
