Words / Lines overlap after hitting Enter within a table in Word!!
I have a simple 6x2 word table with text information inside. When I hit
enter in any row, the words get doubled after I hit enter....It is difficult to explain this problem unless someone sees the actual screenshot of this problem. For instance, if the document in a table looks like this below: Line 1 Line 2 After I hit enter, it becomes: Line 1 XXXXX Line 2 Where XXXX is the spot where the top portion of the phrase "Line 2" gets repeated. Also, the lines within the Table overlap with eachother. If you need a screenshot of this problem, please send me your email address and I will send you the attachment. I dont see a place where I can attach my files within this newsgroup. This is what I tried so far, with no luck: 1. Attempted to increase the refresh rate on the display adapter settings on OS - this did not help. 2. This problem happens in just one PC. I am not able to recreate this problem in another pc. 3. Reinstalled Office 2000 with the latest service pack after removing Word 2000 completely. I would appreciate any suggestions to resolve this problem. Thank you. |

Hi vrk1
When this problem occurs, does it happen near the end of a page? If so, try scrolling up or down, away from the table. Does the problem repair itself? If so, then it's a problem that I've seen lots of times in Word 2000. For what it's worth, it appears to have been solved in Word 2002 and 2003, although that doesn't help you much. It's just a display issue. Word gets confused about how to display the text, but the text itself is just fine. It's annoying, but we can live with it. Or is Word really inserting extra text into the table? That is, even when you save and re-open the file, the extra text is there? Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.

Shauna,
Please find my answers to your questions below: 1. The problem appears at the top of the page, middle and also at the end of the page...no specific region associated with this. 2. The problem does not repair itself. However, if I highlight the entire table and click on the first row..the problem goes away. 3. When I save the file and open it again - the problem disappears. Its not actually inserting text into the document. Do you think this problem is fixable in Word 2000? Thanks for your response.

Hi vrk1
So we know that the text in the document itself isn't changing, so it's just a display issue. So either the display problem is coming from Word, in which case you can't fix it. Working in Normal View using View Normal might help, but you will lose the display of some objects. Or, the display problem is with your graphics driver. Try downloading a new driver for your graphics card from the website of the manufacturer of the graphics card. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.

I suggest you stop wasting people's time by posting pointless
test messages when you are clearly able to post real messages, read replies to your messages, and post replies to those replies. vrk1 wrote: Hi Shauna, I tried reloading the display driver and this did not help!
