Re: Word 2003

Hi Scott -

For future reference, reinstalling Office or Office apps is *rarely* the
correct approach and almost never the first step to take if any problems
arise. The apps themselves aren't typically the root of the problem and
reinstalling can cause other problems that compound the situation. and - as
you've found - reinstallation seldom corrects the problem. The issue is most
likely with a supporting file or the doc itself.

If you do have to remove, make sure to use the Remove Office utility rather
than just dragging stuff to the Trash. Also, reinstalling sets you back to
the version on the install disk, so you also have to re-apply all the
updates in sequence (beginning with 11.3.5 if Office 2004) and it doesn't
hurt to run Disk Utility - Repair Disk Permissions after any OS or app
updates.

As to your current issue: It would help to know which version of Word/Office
you're using and, as l_c asked, whether this is occurring only in the one
doc or occurring in others as well. Further, the configuration of your Mac
may be a factor here too - model, RAM, etc.

Gut reaction is that is a corrupt doc or that the doc has some corrupt
content (graphic, table, extensive change tracking or some other cause). Try
the following if it's just the one doc:

Command+A (to select all)
Shift+LeftArrow (to deselect the last ¶)
Comand+C (to copy)
Then paste into a new blank doc

If that doesn't correct the situation in the new file or if other docs
present the same behavior post back with your results plus the info
requested above.

I have a 50 page document and when I scroll upwards, the topmost line keeps
repeating itself and replacing the normal text above it. When I scroll
down
again, the document returns back to normal. How do I fix this? I've
already
uninstalled and reinistalled Word.
