Help - Word 2007 looses it 'focus'
I have an annoying problem with MS Word in that when I'm typing a document
that is larger than what appears on the screen, Word regularly shifts the view window to somewhere else in the document from where I'm typing. I can keep typing forever, blindly, and the window focus won't go back to where the cursor is. If I use an up or down arrow, the view will jump back to where I'm typing. This happens in Word and in Outlook (where I experience it most often as I use Word as my email editor. Anyone know a fixes for this; it's really annoying! |

Help - Word 2007 looses it 'focus'
I had that problem with both Word and Outlook 2007, but it was fixed in Word
(at least for me) after I applied SP1. I still have the problem in Outlook, though. The problem appears to be zoom related -- at least for me. My vision isn't wonderful, so I usually have the text zoomed to 140% or higher in both Word and Outlook. The problem does not occur when text is zoomed to 100%. As far as I'm aware, that's the only work-around... not a great work-around, since I can't read most documents comfortably at 100%. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Dab" wrote in message ...

Help - Word 2007 looses it 'focus'
Hi Herb:
Thanks for your note. I have the service packs applied. Could be it's fixed in Word and a I haven't noticed it, but it's definitely in Outlook. Without knowing for sure, I expect that I'm in 'zoom mode' as well. I'll try the 100% mode. Thanks for the tip. "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote in message ...

Help - Word 2007 looses it 'focus'
Herb:
You are correct. My users, as well as myself, were experiencing this same issue. All of a sudden one day, every time I chose "Forward" for an email, not only the text would enlarge, but any embedded images would, as well. None of us could recall changing anything, so I found the solution to the problem; simply open a blank email, click on the Zoom button and click 100%. That stopped the enlargement problem for all of us. However, as you state, sometimes people need the Zoom to be more than 100%. I don't have an answer for that, but the above worked for the original issue. Regards, RM House Applications Support Atlanta, GA P.S. I just checked out your Word 2007 Bible Blog, and I LOVE it!
