Hey people, first of all, yeah all my settings are correct (drawing etc) i
never changed them from the defaults, to the person that said about the
graphics issue, im not going to fiddle with my graphics drivers, which work
FINE with EVERY OTHER peice of software that i use. I will just reinstall
word if that is the case, all my drivers are digitally signed so its
microsoft's problem, not theirs ;o)

Oh yeah, im not being a retard and posting invisible autoshapes. are people
actually that dumb!?

If so, I'm REALLY not one of them. All autoshapes, appear and disappear
randomly, even those which i created months ago, they print fine, so they are
definately there. I think i should just delete the microsoft crap and buy
wordperfect instead!

aaah if only!

Unless anyone has an answer, i'm just going to reinstall..

PS any reason why microsoft dont bloody answer themselves. Cant they AFFORD
to give decent tech service to deal with all the problems with their shoddy
software!?
