Default Prtoblems n Word 2007 Draft view

It sounds like a graphics card issue. Did you try updating your display
driver?

Even though this might not be what you are looking for, but I used to prefer
Draft (or Normal) view because of the page margins. If that's the reason
then perhaps removing the view of white space will work for you. To hide or
show white space, place your mouse pointer either under the ruler or between
two pages, watch for the mouse pointer to change, and then double-click when
prompted. That's what I use now and I've never looked back to Draft/Normal
view since in many cases it doesn't display the document as it will look
when printed anyway.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email cannot be acknowledged.

I would prefer using the draft view to the print view, but after awhile
draft
view starts leaving bad lines on the screen and showing false images o f
text.

Another problem with Word 2007 draft View is that at some point in the
session, the page up scrolling feature stops working, that is, the
document
gets "stuck" at the top of a page and I can't scroll to an earlier spot
with
Pg Up or with the scroll wheel on the mouse, and instead I have to click
into
the text and scroll up with the arrow key.
