Did you look in your Word Preferences?
In my version (Word 2004) in Prefences:General is a checkbox

Turning off sound alerts altogether

I've plugged in headphones to my iBook, but get annoying sound effects as I work in Microsoft Word, with sounds everytime I cut/paste, drag a word, etc. and at the same volumn as the music I'm listening to on the headphones. I work a lot on Word and want to turn off sound alerts altogether but don't see that option.

I can't turn off sound alerts for mail arrival

I have Mail in Lion configured to not play a sound when mail arrives. However, recently a sound started playing. It's still turned off in the config. I suspect a bug in a recent update to Lion. Has anyone else noticed this?

No wonder nobody else had this problem. It wasn't until I turned the sound off on my Macbook Pro and still heard the sound announcing an arrival of an email that I twigged. I realised that I had Mail open on my Mini to which I have speakers connected. Normally I don't have Mail running on my Mini; hence my confusion.
D'oh!

How do I turn off email alerts in iOS 7?

How do I turn off email alerts in iOS 7? I've been to Notifications, Mail/Contacts/Calendars & Sounds. Turned everything off but the kitchen sink...powered down and back up...persistent email sound goes off everytime mail arrives (junk or good). Thanks. Started happening after upgrading my wife's iPhone 5. I had no problems with upgrade on my own iPhone 5 (imagine that LOL).

further clarified, yes I move Mail App to DO NOT INCLUDE and the mail icon now appears in that list. Mail is set to Vibrate Only...thanks for trying

How to turn off charge alert?

Since I have loaded GDR2 & 3 the charging alert sounds in the middle of the night waking my wife and me. When I place the phone on the wireless charger the charging alert sounds as it always has but what is new is that the alert will sound again sometime
later. It seams that the phone charges then when the phones battery runs down to a certain level the charger kicks in again and the alert goes off again. How can I turn off that alert? I use my phone as my morning alarm so I want to keep the volume up and
if I put it on vibrate the noise of the vibration wakes me up. As you can imagine I am beginning to hate my phone for waking me up in the middle of the night.

Thanks for the reply, I have found other posts on other forums that explain this issue similarly to the way you did. The phone charges then looses some of the charge over night then starts to charge again and when it stars to charge it sounds that alert.
I don't think it is unreasonable for the battery to run down a little overnight. My battery life is really good especially since gdr2 and gdr3. But I think it is important to point out that this alert issue began with gdr2 or gdr3 or the Nokia firmware, it
is hard to say which since they were all loaded just a few days apart. For what it is worth another issue I noticed following the upgrade is that the phone is much more sensitive to the placement of the phone on the wireless charger. If you don't get it on
there just right it repeatedly sounds the charging alert. Again this is new behavior following the updates. I am hoping that the black update will correct the issue. BTW. My wife has a newer 920 and hers does the same thing following the updates, which leads
me to believe that it was the updates that started the problem. Thanks for your help.

How to turn off Emergency Alerts on a GalaxyS4 (running 4.4.2 Kit Kat)

If you are like me, you hate those annoying Emergency Alerts that fire off when you are in a meeting or trying to sleep, etc. Previously, you could could go to Messaging > Settings > Emergency Alerts and turn off Amber Alerts and Weather Alerts. However, in a recent update for Galaxy S4, it appears some jackwagon removed the ability to disable this "feature" from Messaging Settings.now
This approach will work with version 4.4.2 (at least). It may work with earlier versions.... Im not sure when the change was made.
If you want to turn this "feature" off, here is how you do it:
1. Click Menu
2. Go to Apps.
3. Find the Emergency Alert app. Open it.
4. Click the menu button at lower left of your phone.
5. Click Settings. A new menu will appear.
6. Click Alert Types.
7. Remove the check boxes next to Extreme Alerts, Severe Alerts, and AMBER alerts (as you so choose)
8. That's it, you're done. Click the Home button and move on with your life.

If I understand your description correctly,
it's the frame manager that has the fault light.
That's an old quirk that is specific to that rack component.
It has (essentially) no impact on whatever systems are installed to the rack.
It is usually just a visual annoyance.
Use your service contract and open a support case with Sun.
That will give them a chance to help you check on everything.
They'll walk you through the correct steps of power-cycling the frame manager.
That can be done while the servers are happily serving.

Anyway to turn off Email Alerts at night?

I am looking for a way to turn off email alerts at night. I just don't want the sound to wake me up. I know I can manually change my volume each night to phone calls only, but I was wondering if there was an automatic way of doing this?
I don't want to auto on/off my phone either because it's is the only phone I use in my house. Never know if there will be an emergency at 2 AM and someone needs to call you.
Thanks for any suggestions!

If you just have personal (using BIS), you can setup messages filters on your carrier's BIS website.
If you're on a BES you'll have the choice on the device to filter your corporate emails (under Messages | Options | Email Filters). Personal emails will still be done from your carrier's website.

1. uninstalled HP from my computer (checked to ensure that my printer was no longer visible in my printers and the HP Utility software was nowhere to be found),

Can i turn off email alerts for find my iphone

How do you turn off email alerts for find my iphone?

There is no way to turn it off, just reduce it. It is a new security feature. It depends on where you are logging in that is generating the email. If you are logging in from a computer browser, if you have cookies on, it should not generate the email except for the first time that you use that device. If it is from logging in to the Find My iPhone app on the iPhone or iPad, if you have a passcode lock set on the device, it will not generate the email, as you will not be logged out of the app on the phone. You just use the home button to get past the app and it stays logged in by not tracking. You open the app again and it will just take you right in without having the log in and will refresh itself.

debrafromusa,
This would be an extremely bad idea, the start up tone is there for a reason. It tells you when your system is attempting to boot, it is also necessary in the even resets like a PRAM reset are done. There is software to mask the sound however as stated it is a very poor idea.
Also, why turn it off. Why not simply put the display to sleep when the machine is not in use. You can easily do that in System Preferences - Energy Saver
