When I am in MSWord, it seems to have
unstable colors. Where I notice it is: The "Header 1" is shaded when
printed. On my screen, the shading is barely noticeable at times, then
sometimes (often) it is black (so I can't read anything typed using Header
1), other times brown, or blue. It is so weird. Can you think of any
reason? It's only annoying because I can't "see" my Header 1 titles.
 
Is it just the header? Does sound wierd.

It just might be a dodgy video lead/plug. The colours on the screen are generated by a combination of red green and blue light. If one or more of the pins is not contacting, you will get wierd colours, but it would be the whole screen, not just one part of it.

 
this is the problem, its only i word headers
 
Bizaar, cant. Questions...

When's the last time the hard drive was cleaned on this PC?
Email CleanHardDrive@HOme.com for instructions by reply mail.

All documents, or just one?

Are their graphics in here?

Are you printing black and white to a color printer?

What brand/model printer? (I've seen this happen on 1/4-million dollar printers that needed to have the color calibrated, used to come out brownish with a tinge of yellow behind it.)

Do you have the right/most recent printer drivers?

When you say Header 1 are you talking about the section header or Heading 1 style?
