What do you mean "working on a word Project Gallery"? The Project
Gallery is a setup of starter templates. Are you working on a set of
starter templates, or are you writing a document based on one of those
templates?

What do you mean "text not recognised"? Not recognised by what or whom?
And what would happen if it were "recognised"? Is the lack of
recognition because it is not as you expected? The wrong language? What
is to recognise?

What do you mean it "disappears" when you scroll down? If you don't
scroll down does it not disappear? How are you scrolling?

Are you sure the font color is not white?

Ron, first of all thanks for responding. I went into the project gallery and choose one of the starter templates. Then I started inputting text. Everything was going well but on one of the pages (doc is 16 pages long) as I scroll from the previous pages to the following page, the text is there until i just about get to the following page and then it disappears. When I go into my toolbox area, on the problem page the "font" information like "bold, italic, etc is not highlighted so I would guess it doesn't recognize any text on that page to manulipate. It can't be white text b/c it's there and then it isn't and there isn't any way to change it.

Ok. Now getting somewhere. Which template did you pick?

Word doesn't really have 'pages'. It puts text into a "space" and then
just before printing to paper (which requires pages), it will paginate
for you. Word will indicate the current pagination when you look at you
work in Print Layout view.

If you view your work in Draft View (the view I normally use when
writing with Word), does the text also disappear.

When you say "until I just about get to". What does this mean? Are you
referring to the working cursor location?

Is the paragraphs formatted to "keep with next" or something? Word uses
this sort of formatting when it pageinates.

What if you simply, when you can see it, delete it and then recreate
(avoids having to work this problem and allow you to get on with writing)?
