I am working with a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8. It just had a new hard drive installed, OS X re-installed from the factory disks. I did all Apple updates, then installed Office 2011 and did all its updates.
I migrated the user off via FireWire boot up mode to another Mac, I migrated back to this hard drive the same way. When I migrated back, outlook was already populated. I had not migrated the apps off originally, only the user data. The Microsoft Identity
folder must have brought the outlook account back with the migrate.
The problem I mention in the title of this post happened the first time the user tried to reply to an e-mail. This has not happen if we start a new e-mail. I recreated the problem by starting a reply. No beeps through the first word typed. But when
you press the space bar to start the next word, a beep sound is heard. Then when you type the first letter of the next word, another beep. No more beeps until you press the spacebar to start the third word, and then another beep from the first letter of
the third word. I then typed a whole bunch of random letters without the spacebar. No beeps after the first character, until the next spacebar. I can change the beep sound played by going into "Sounds" in system preferences. The "alert" sound seems to be
the one I hear.
If during this beeping period the spinning beach ball comes ups, I can continue to type, hearing my unfortunately expected beeps. But the words that I managed to type will now be "sprayed" all over the page. In between previously typed sentences, up
and down in the un-typed areas.
Are the beeps some type of advanced paragraph editing setting that I can turn off? It this a glitch from migrating the user account off a failing hard drive ("Keys are out of order" message in disk utility made me want to replace the hard drive)? Should
I uninstall manually all of Office 2011 then reinstall?
Thanks for reading this, any assistance will be appreciated.
