ActiveWords work everywhere, even at the Windows Desktop and in other contexts where there is no active text cursor.

Windows and some programs don’t expect this and play a default sound when you try to type where there is no cursor input.

To turn this sound off (it can be really annoying!):

• On Windows 10 search Settings for “Change System Sounds.” On Windows 7 open the Sound Control Panel.
• Scroll to and select “Default Beep” in the Program Events section.
• Click the “Sounds:” pull down arrow, scroll to the top, and select “(None).”
• Click “OK.”
