icon.

This problem occurs when your HTML document contains a background sound.
WORKAROUND

After you run the spelling checker, click Online Layout on the View menu to
return to this view.
Method 2: Remove the Background Sound
Remove the background sound from the HTML document, run the spelling
checker, and then re-add the background sound to the document.
