Tom, Thanks. You were right on. It Worked! I'm so grateful. Silence upon pasting, golden! I never knew that option existed. Of course, I jumped from Windows XP and Office 2007,where I never experienced this, to windows 7 and Office 2013, quite a shocking difference. Thanks for your help.

Go to the File tab and arrow down to Options. Press enter and then arrow down to Advanced, Press tab to your heart's content and you will find a checkbox saying something like, "Show Paste Options" Uncheck the box, and you should be good to go. -----Original Message----- From: gosselin_louis Sent: Sunday, April 13, 2014 12:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Not continually reloading the Webpage, but just as annoying In MS Word 2013 I always get this rapidly repeating message "Action Paste Alternatives, action paste alternatives" immediately following a paste operation of more than a few lines' worth of text. It suggests a message on screen is blinking with this critical information, which I need to fix instantly! Does anyone know if there's a way to stop it? Does Microsoft think something will break in the computer if I don't respond? I can't even hear the information on the current line, because it repeats too quickly, or too persistently, until you actually start typing a few characters, or hit enter, then it stops. Then I can continue working, but not before I've taken the time to undo what I did to stop the repeating message. Tapping ctrl or hitting escape doesn't stop it. Perhaps what we need is a Window-eyes setting for "never blink" to take care of this. I really think after we've heard a message once or twice per event, that we've heard it enough! Has anyone else noticed this? Instead of rubbing my nose in the idea that there might be paste alternatives available, why doesn't Microsoft suggest one or two, perhaps a few keywords, or perhaps a keystroke combo to bring up the list of alternatives to pick from! But please, say or show the info only once or twice per event, so that I can continue working without obstruction.. And speaking of obstructions, I'm finding that Windows 7 and Office 2013 are filled to the brim with them. You can see I'd really love to get started, but I won't this time. Please excuse my wrant. But if anyone knows how to keep that message from popping up, I'd sure love to hear about it. Louis Gosselin If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
