Cursor disappears when over italic text in some fonts

[hyphz]

Hi,

I'm editing a document in Word 2007 (SP1) that uses the Adobe Caslon Pro
font. When I set a section of text to italic and move the text editing
cursor over it, the text cursor either disappears or appears at a random
place in the document, although typed text is still inserted in the right
place. If I switch the font on the affected text to Calibri, it works again.
Adobe Caslon Pro works fine in other applications, such as WordPad under XP.

Thanks!

I have this problem too, using the font Minion.

I'd love to know a solution!

I, too, have this issue in a paragraph formatted to Adobe Garamond Pro,
italicized. The cursor also becomes a backslash over this section -- and it's
far more extreme than normal, thus difficulat to use.

Any answers?

There are so many possible causes - possibly more than one cause. These
include:

The font screen display badly written
Conflict between display driver and mouse driver
A mouse driver issue
A display driver issue
A printer driver issue (yes, the printer driver affects the display in Word)
A bad display itself
Possible (but unlikely) problem with Word
