black text on black background in word xp

[M smith]

on opening word, as you type characters, the line the
caret is on goes black so you can't see the text. as you
enter new lines, the same thing happens. if you hit
pageup, the lines appear normal, but when you start
typing again the current line goes black.

thought it might be a video card problem, but have tried
replacing it to no avail

please help
