Table display problems

[JimSym]

Every time I edit a table in Word, the display goes strange. The borders
disappear, cells overwrite one another, sections of the screen go black, etc.
ANYTHING that causes a cell or table to resize or change it's display in any
way results in the display glitches - e.g., inserting/deleting a row or
column, typing more than one line of text in a cell, changing borders or
shading, etc. If I scroll down or up forcing a redraw of the edited cells,
the display corrects itself (usually). This is extremely annoying.

I am running Word 2002 on XP Pro SP2. Have GeForce4 MX4400 with Driver
4.18.20.22.00 which XP Updates says is the latest revision of the driver.

Any suggestions?

In that case, you should contact the graphics card manufacturer.

You could also try reducing the hardware acceleration a notch or two.
