Layout View

[jnkirkland]

Version: 2004 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Processor: Power PC This is a new issue beginning yesterday when using Word and I'm creating a NEW document text cannot be seen in the PAGE LAYOUT view. TEXT IS being entered when I type but it is INVISIBLE nor can I see the cursor. (FYI, my text color is black and my background color is white.) When I switch to Outline or Normal views I can then see what text I've typed. Also, if I open documents I created prior to this issue I can see the text just fine in Page Layout view. I suspect a setting has changed but I've not found any setting that corrects this issue.

Make certain that Office & OS X are both fully updated. Repair disk
permissions & try restarting your Mac to see if that corrects it.

If not, there is no "setting" that makes text visible in some views but not
in others. Try the suggestion here for testing your Normal template:
