Word 2003 error

[Brock 90]

(Apart from reinstalling)
When I open a new document in Word and start typing the words do not appear
on the document, I have tried Detect and Repair, font colour, etc, the only
thing I can see is wrong is that teh Spell checker is constantly running.
This problem does not appear in any other Office applications
(XP, Office Pro2003)

Perhaps the text in the Normal template has been inadvertently formatted as
hidden? A quick fix is to exit Word, locate normal.dotm and rename the file.
The next time you start Word, a new copy of normal.dot with the factory
default settings will be recreated.

Note that in order to find normal.dotm you can use Windows Find. Be sure to
search hidden files and folders.
