I just installed Word from Office XP Professional CD and everytime I do a keystroke the whole line turns black and you cannot see the type. I uninstalled it and installed it again and it does the same thing. I did a work around (turned the background in format to white - which turned the screen gray) and can see type now, but I have to do it on each document. I downloaded all of the current updates from Microsoft Office for my version and that did not help. Any suggestions? ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
