cursor not placing properly and not highlighting text to edit
Caralina I noticed that the text is not displayed correctly. So when you click (or doubleclick) on a displayed word, some other point gets the click. This point can be about 6 to 10 lines higher than where you clicked. If you scroll all the way up to the top of your document, you will notice that the first few lines are missing. This is clearly an embarrassing bug.
If the above description matches your predicament, one way to force Word to correct the display is to scroll to almost the top of your doc, then use the scroll bar HARD to move all the way up. Smash the scroll bar to the top with all your pent up frustrations. The missing text will appear and your mouse will be synched with the text. It works for me.
The answer provided by the MS guy was so bogus.
What was your work around .. all I have been able to do is save the file, close it and re-open it.
Hi jdlambrick. I haven't found a work around. Occasionally scrolling to the top fixes it but usually need to close file and reopen it. It is clearly a common issue although people describe it slightly differently so thete are multiple threads in techcommunity. Microsoft doesn't seem to have picked up on it.
