My word documents suddenly hide all text...what to do?

[Still Learning]

All of my word documents now appear blank. However I can select and copy
into another document -- as long as it isn't into another word document.
Additionally outlook now can't use word as its editor. Is the software
corrupted or did I inadvertently change a setting?

It sounds as though your normal style has been formatted with the text
coloured white, and that you have the automatically update styles option set
in the style dialog.

Only Outlook versions up to 2003 can use the matching Word version as
editor. (Word 2007/10 have their own Word-like editors). This is configured
from Outlook. If Outlook won't accept this setting then something is
definitely amiss. May I suggest you see

Then repair Office.
