Text is hidden as you type in a cell in a table
I have had a weird problem since Word 2007 was installed. No one else in my
office has this happen. As I type in a table, the whole cell goes progressively darker (blue) so that I can no longer see what I have typed. I have to double click my mouse to get rid of the dark blue background which completely hides the text. But then, as soon as I type in the cell again, it starts all over. It is frustrating like you wouldn't believe--I want to tear my hair out! I use tables a lot (e.g., labels) and every time I type in one, the same thing happens. It is not just for new tables created in Word 2007, either. Tables created in Word 2003 and opened in Word 2007 do the same thing. I have reviewed all the settings I can see and nothing seems to address this problem. If anyone has had this problem and has a fix, please help! |

Text is hidden as you type in a cell in a table
I found the answer to this down in the thread called "Automatic coloring of
table cells", which I did not come across when I was trying to search out this problem. It turned up after I posted my question. Tx.
