When typing in word 2003 I am finding thet the screen turns off for half a
second whenever I type a 4. (A particular nuisance as all phone numbers in
the area begin with about 4 of them). It doesn't happen in any other program.
Anyone else come across this problem please?

Any chance you're on a laptop?

I am indeed. You're going to tell me it's something obvious now aren't you

Thanks for replying and I'm eagerly awaiting your next response....

I can't be certain but I'm going to guess that it's some weird combination
of the 4 key and CTRL, Shift, Fn, or Alt that is doing it. I would suggest
reading the laptop manual or whatever Help files that apply to the screen.

No combinations. Just 4 on it's own, and only in Word.

You could have hit one of those keys unintentionally. I would try each of
them in turn. I know it's there somewhere. I'd even venture a 50¢ bet on it.
