I should have thought of "white" as another possibility. The fact that you
were seeing spelling corrections suggested that the text was there, just

By directing me to Format/Font I was able to solve my problem. Somehow the
font colour had been changed to white. Don't ask me how!
Anyhow, your suggestion certainly helped. Thank you

What version of Word? If there is no text on the screen, then
where does a squiggly red line appear? From your cryptic
description of the problem, I'm guessing you can't create new
Word documents, but can you open and edit existing Word documents?

I have had the system some time. It was only today that it suddenly
stopped producing the written word on screen. Sometimes a squiggly red
