Problem in Word on networked pc
We have one pc running Win98SE and when logged in as an administrator on the Server 2003 network (20 computers) there is no problem at all when using Word (Office XP). However, when logged in as a normal user there is a strange problem! When you open a blank document and start to type it suddenly changes on that line to a blanked out line so you cannot see what you are typing. Once you move the mouse and stop typing you can see what you actually typed.
Does anyone know how to solve this please? |

Check Word's View menu and set it to something other than what it's currently using and see if that does anything good.
Also compare the settings in Word>Tools>Options on the computer that has no problems with those on the computers with the problem to see if there's anything different that might explain things. |

What is it doing? Highlighting the word in white so it matches the background? Got a pic?

I don't have a picture but basically when I tested it out the following happened:
As you start to type on a new blank word document the text disappears and is replaced by a black bar for the duration of the typing. Once the cursor is off the line and you stop typing the text appears. So you would type and then see a black bar with the rest of the document either side of the black bar - weird or what!!!! As I said before, when logged in as an administrator it doesn't happen but a normal user it does. Any ideas?? |
