Prtoblems n Word 2007 Draft view
I would prefer using the draft view to the print view, but after awhile draft
view starts leaving bad lines on the screen and showing false images o f text. Another problem with Word 2007 draft View is that at some point in the session, the page up scrolling feature stops working, that is, the document gets "stuck" at the top of a page and I can't scroll to an earlier spot with Pg Up or with the scroll wheel on the mouse, and instead I have to click into the text and scroll up with the arrow key. |

It sounds like a graphics card issue. Did you try updating your display
driver? Even though this might not be what you are looking for, but I used to prefer Draft (or Normal) view because of the page margins. If that's the reason then perhaps removing the view of white space will work for you. To hide or show white space, place your mouse pointer either under the ruler or between two pages, watch for the mouse pointer to change, and then double-click when prompted. That's what I use now and I've never looked back to Draft/Normal view since in many cases it doesn't display the document as it will look when printed anyway.

Prtoblems n Word 2007 Draft view
Thanks, Beth.
I like the print view, and I know about closing the top and bottom margins by clicking. The reason I want to use the draft mode is mainly because the date auto complete feature works in this mode but not in the print view. Also there's that sporadic scrolling problem that I have---I said before I get it in draft view, but I tihnk actually I get it in print view. I'm dialing down my graphics card's Direct Draw functions to see if that fixes the screen junk. "Beth Melton" wrote: It sounds like a graphics card issue. Did you try updating your display driver?

Prtoblems n Word 2007 Draft view
I just checked and it is the draft mode in which you get the scroll problem.
Go into a long doc somewhere near the middle, then press the Pg Up key and soon the doc gets stuck and won't scroll. Bottom line seems to be that print view is the way to go. Why is draft view even there, one wonders. This still leaves the perplexing problem taht date autocomlete doesn't work in print view but works in draft view. "Rudy" wrote: Thanks, Beth.

Prtoblems n Word 2007 Draft view
I don't get the scrolling issues you describe in Draft view and the
AutoComplete for dates works in Print Layout view, which is why I suggested an update for your graphics card. :-) Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Prtoblems n Word 2007 Draft view
Have you tried starting Word in safe mode to see if the problem persists? It
might be a settings issue of some kind. To start in safe mode, press Ctrl as Word is starting, and click Yes to the safe mode prompt. If date autocomplete works correctly in safe mode, then the problem verly likely is due either to a corrupted normal.dotm file (try renaming it, then start Word) or to a corrupted registry entry (usually the Data key -- try renaming or deleting). For more information on these (albeit not Word 2007-specific), see: http://word.mvps.org/FAQS/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Rudy" wrote in message ...
