Hi Shannon, I’m not sure about word 2010 but, in some of the olders versions when I could still see a little changing to the high contrast black did cause some crazy things to happen. Like I said I don’t change the color anymore and am using office 2003. You may try changing back to the default color just to see if it makes any difference. It really shouldn’t and I think that problem was fixed a long time ago but it couldn’t hurt to see if it makes any difference. Tony C

If I open a new document in word I hear Microsoft Word document one custome control. Pressing the alt key results in Ribbon Ribbon property page, not the expected home tab. Down arrowing in this blank document results in page 1 of 1, colibery body eleven file page one of one. If I type in to the document I can hear what I am typing but I cant hear any back spacing over text and when trying to read what was typed I hear. page one colibery body file and the first line of the text on down not what is at the curser position. It always starts at the top. I have tried to redraw the screen and no change. I have also tried to get WE to detect the curser and it says that no curser is detected. I have set the set highlight color hot key and set that to detect the selected text and it does report that the highlight is set but that doesn't help WE find the text of the curser either. This happens all the time. Now the funny thing is that if I open a second document all works. I hear Document 2 style normal, page one of one, column one of one, print layout, document 2 blank. This is an excellent work around for a new document I am creating but it will not work for another situation I find my self in all the time. Our accounting program uses templates and uses the data base to create invoices and letters in word. If I use one of these templates and create a document for a client I cant read it. It opens as document one and all the symptoms of the above document one synario happen. I cant proof or add to the document created like this. They do open in compatibility mode is the only difference. The templates are set for the word 97 2000 formatting. As I am typing this email I have both document one and document 2 open and tabbing back and forth will not change anything. Document one is impossible to deal with but document 2 is fine. While having these two word docs open and also run the reports through word that would appear to be doc three I will hear that it is doc three. This way it does work as does doc 2 but if I dont have at least 2 documents already open I am unable to do anything with the generated reports. Has anyone had such dealings with word acting like this? I have done the updates through Microsoft and I had a couple to do yesterday that I did but they didn't resolve any of my problems.

I can open three docs but I don't think I should have to do that Thanks and sorry about the length Shannon If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
