Most of HTML doc goes blank

T

TSWH

Just started using Office 2000 Word last week to create prototype of web
page. Noticed last week if Tab key pressed while typing text or to create an
indent, page blinked once or twice, then document appeared blank except for
very top of document that contains a jpg file and some short text in large
font with a shaded background. Select File, Exit, and when asked about Save
Changes? answer No. Restart document, everything since last save gone, but
at least have the HTML file to continue to work with.

This week, avoided ever pressing Tab key, added hundreds of lines of text
(bottom of screen says 19 pages in document), 6 images, several tables,
hyperlinks to PowerPoint Shows. All that working o.k..

But now when I try to add several blank lines by pressing Enter key or type
more than several dozen words or try to add a table or add an image, same
scenario as pressing the Tab key last week, screen blinks once or twice,
content is gone except for image and large block font with shading at top and
blinking cursor flush left margin. Bottom of screen says 19 of 19 as if Word
thinks there are still 19 pages of content, but press the Up cursor arrow and
it suddenly says 1 of 19 at the bottom of the screen. Press down cursor
arrow, it says 19 of 19.

No error messages, no application faults, etc. Any thoughts on what may be
the problem would be appreciated; estimate it would take me two days to
recreate everything I've done so far.
