You might have a look at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm for some general
troubleshooting tips. Try starting using the /a switch and see if that makes
a difference, then proceed from there. Also, is it possible that this is a
display problem?

This is getting weirder. Now when I create any document, even if it has no
landscape pages in it, I can't move the gridlines.

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interestingly, the cursor stopped flashing so rapidly when I put it in
Normal
view. However I still can't grab some of the grid lines. I found that if
I
click on them multiple times in succession I can sometimes grab them but
even
then they will only sometimes let me move them. Other times it looks
like
it's letting me move them and then when I let go of the grid line it
appears
exactly where it was before.

Is this true in Normal view as well as Print Layout?

news Whenever I put a landscape page in the middle of a portrait document
and
extend the footer over the to right of the landscape page, weird
things
happen. The most annoying thing is that if I insert a table
anywhere, it
won't let me grab the markers on the ruler for the grid lines, nor
will it
let me grab the table gridlines themselves.

Any clues would be much appreciated.
