| 335948 | 2005-03-19 23:03:00 | I am using Word 2002 on Win Xp pro. I have used a text box and written text in it. All is good. However, if I scroll vertically, then any part of the box that rolled off [at the top of the screen], disappears. The only way to restore this is either to reorder the box (which works every time), or to minimise and then maximise the full window (which works evert time). So what's the probelm - the problem is that the fixes do not stick. I have to reorder or min/maximise all the time. Even in 'print preview'. I can't find a setting to make this glitch go away. Anyone please.............. :confused: |

| 335949 | 2005-03-19 23:22:00 | Hi there. Try opening the Picture toolbar, clicking on your text box and then on Square. This should allow the programme to treat your text box as graphic type object. That's if I understand your problem???? which I don't always do.... :illogical | Scouse (83) | ||
| 335950 | 2005-03-20 00:38:00 | Thanks for trying but I don't know what you mean by 'clicking on your text box and then on Square'. Where/ What is the square please. |

| 335951 | 2005-03-20 01:19:00 | Hi again. On the Picture toolbar there is an icon of a dog (I think in 2002) which is your Text Wrapping link. Click on dog and you will see several icons which control how the text wraps around your box. The Square is the second one down/or from the left - depending on how the floating toolbar is looking. This changes the box from being regarded as a big fat object which may or may not obstruct your bacjground, to a graphic object around which your background text will flow in whatever form you choose. Square means that background text will flow around the box on all sides without being obstructed or without obstructing the box. Also lets you drag the box and park it anywhere. Probably clear as mud. :) | Scouse (83) | ||
| 335952 | 2005-03-20 04:14:00 | Scouse - thanks. I see now - you are talking about formatting the layout of the text box. Ok - been there, done that. It had no positive effect. There must be something else. It's really odd. It's like scrolling vertically acts like an erasor, rubbing out whatever has gone off the top of the monitor. As you scroll back down, there is nothing there. But, do the minimise trick [as 1st post], and all text/images etc are all back again. :confused: | thepom (7654) | ||
| 335953 | 2005-03-20 04:21:00 | This usually points to the graphics drivers, perhaps updating them to the latest for your chipset may help. Not an uncommon problem on integrated "on-board" or "shared memory" video systems. Often an update fixes the problem. The video content in the text box is being "ignored" after it has scrolled off, and not refreshed. |
