2nd post: Screen not refreshing well -- Word only!
Hello experts,
Suddenly, my screen is slow to render the edits I make on my Word 2000 documents. All other programs work fine. I notice the problem when working with tables -- the lines disappear, and I have to click page up/page down or click gridlines on/off to get them to show up. In the meantime, the words of the tables jumble together; I also notice the problem when editing text -- the lines jumble together, and the bottom of the page displays two duplicated lines instead of just one. ??? Anybody have a clue? *(((({ |

Hi Fishy,
Problems like that can be caused by the video driver and/or the printer driver (Word uses the printer driver's information to do page layout in Print Layout view). Try reinstalling the drivers, and check the manufacturers' websites for updated drivers. Big tables can make Word sluggish (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/FastTables.htm), but that shouldn't affect the "jumbled" appearance. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org *((({ wrote: Hello experts, Suddenly, my screen is slow to render the edits I make on my Word 2000 documents.

Thanks for the suggestions. These are small tables -- 2-5 rows. I can
try reinstalling the printer drivers. But they are HP drivers, you see, and came with a 4.5 Meg software package. I'm sure the driver itself isn't that big; I suspect bloatware. *(((({ In the last exciting episode on Thu, 3 Mar 2005 10:22:28 -0500, "Jay Freedman" wrote: |Hi Fishy, | |Problems like that can be caused by the video driver and/or the printer |driver (Word uses the printer driver's information to do page layout in |Print Layout view).
