Sounds like its mostly a problem with Word rather than WinXP Rick. I would
suggest running "detect and repair" (from the Help menu in Word and see if
that fixes it. I would further recommend checking microsoft's website to see
if there are any updates or patches you can download for Microsoft Office. I
think you will find these will help.
Good luck with it!
