Dale, The only thing checked in the view menu is normal. There is no "status bar" mentioned in any of the view menu entries.

I went to a lengthy document last week and much of the spelling was nothing more than gobbledigook. I painstakingly went through each line of the document and am about to reread it to see if everything is indeed straight. I don't remember doing anything out of the ordinary with this document and am quite baffled at the shape it was in. Is there something in the computer that can mess up a document?
