Odd text quirks when scrolling
Hello,
I have recently encountered a very odd text quirk in Word 2003. When I scroll through my documents and text goes off screen, then return to the text, the text is suddenly darker than the other text around it. When I type a character everything returns to normal but it is very annoying. Please see the following image for clarification: http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/9...xtquirklj6.jpg As you can see at E. 1. a. 3. some of the text is darker than the other text. The darker text has been off screen previously but when I scroll down that is what appears. Please help me! |

This sounds like a screen driver issue. Word places surprisingly heavy
demands on the display driver. See if there is an alternative or later version that you can use and/or reduce the driver's hardware acceleration . -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Eli Greenberg wrote: Hello, I have recently encountered a very odd text quirk in Word 2003.

The driver is the most up-to-date version so I will try reducing the hardware
acceleration on my video card. I just got a new video card so that may be the problem. "Graham Mayor" wrote: This sounds like a screen driver issue.

Graham,
I reduced the acceleration down to only the 2nd level and it seems to be fixed. But now its messing up my graphics card control panel. Do you think there are any other possible fixes?

Graham,
I decided to change the font to see if that fixed it and it did. Seems Calibri (nice looking font) takes a lot of hardware acceleration. I changed the font to Times New Roman and it is now fixed. It's a shame I can't use Calibri but I can deal  "Eli Greenberg" wrote: Graham, I reduced the acceleration down to only the 2nd level and it seems to be fixed.

I would keep checking the display adapter manufacturer's web site for new
versions of the driver (or you could try an older version if available). -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Eli Greenberg wrote: Graham, I decided to change the font to see if that fixed it and it did.
