I've seen it many times over tha last 3 years, what a pain, scrolling up and down again will usually get some of the text back, but then I usually loose some other lines. This happens in win98/98se/NT4/and 2k and word since office 97 version. I've seen it on several machines, both at work (big corporation) and at home (4 machines). I doubt it's main memory, it just might be a video memory / video driver problem but it's very common. -Jim- "Hough, John" wrote: > > I don't know quite how to say what's goin on here, but I'll see what I can > do.
