MS Word Problem

[kogg]

Hello All

Here's my problem - I have office xp and when I start up ms-word (on a windows 98SE machine) and type some words I just get a thick black line.

Any ideas most welcome

Many thanks

Do you get this with all words or just some words?

Cheers,
Dave

Probably the only Test Analyst Manager on Tek-Tips...therefore whatever it was that went wrong, I'm to blame...

animadverto vos in Abyssus!

Take a look at Forum1393!

all words have the same effect.

Have you tried to print the text? Does it print correctly?

It might be a problem with the charachter spacing: go to "Format", "Font", and click on the "charachter spacing" tab.

If everything is in order, it should read:

Scale: 100%
Spacing: Normal
Position: Normal

It might just be a very small font size, perhaps bolded. If it's not some sort of obvious format issue, rename normal.dot and see if it solves the problem.

Enjoy,
Tony
