characters will overlap, or bunch up every ten minutes

[rafael montserrat]

In a word document, every ten minutes or so, some characters will overlap,
or bunch up. The temporary cure for this is to put the cursor on that line
anywhere and space forward and back, only one space seems necessary. Then
the characters return to normal.

The other thing that happens, not always with characters bunching up, is
that when selecting a word, the highlight doesn't just stay on that word,
but will cover half of the previous word making it impossible to move or
copy or cut the word I selected. Again this is remedied by the process
described above.

This is happening so often that it is very irritating. There is something
flawed in the application program. I have yet to uninstall and reinstall
word. Is anyone familiar with this phenomenon and it's cure?
