Why does this happen? MS Word?

they call them "easter eggs" because they're hidden there by developers. word 97 had a cool hidden pinball game, and i think it was excel that had a pretty cool (but primitive) flight simulator.\n\ni found the pinball game on teh site i linked to below. here are the steps if you happen to have word 97 (might work in more recent versions, i haven't tested).\n\ngoogle "microsoft easter eggs" and you'll find more. have fun!\n\nOpen a new document \n2. Type "Blue" \n3. Select word \n4. Go to Format -> Font \n5. Choose Font Style Bold, Color Blue \n6. Type " " (space) after word "Blue" \n7. Go to Help -> About \n8. Ctrl-Shift-Left click the Word icon/banner \n9. Use Z for left flipper, M for right flipper, and ESC to exit

This has happened with someone I know and it turned out to be Trojan (Virus) Probably you have virus on ur computer too.

I have seen spyware do this, have you scanned the system with spybot or adaware? This could also indicate a denial of service attack.

Might be caused by something other than this, but I would recommend you run a virus and spyware scan.\n\nVirus and Trojans are famous for doing these things to email pages.\n\nRead more about it at this site.

sure could have; kids do it all the time, unknowingly of course.\n\nis it only in Word?  check Tools-Options in there.\n\nhave you restarted the machine?  that should reset it.  if that doesn't work, go into Control Panel--check Accessibility options and the Keyboard options.

In Microsoft Word, I always go to File, Page Setup, then change the margins to 1 inch there.. Or maybe it's Document Setup.. I'm pretty sure it's one of those.

I had this problem a while ago.  I was using Word and all of a sudden without any warnings or messages the screen screws up.  Thought it was something to do with Graphics card/drivers.  Reinstalled these and it happened again.\n\nMy Windows XP was uptodate. Office XP was uptodate.\n\nFinally, zapped the whole machine, formatted the drives and reinstalled everything.  Now it seems to work fine.  However, got Open Office installed if anything decides to blow up again.

It's a program used for editing text. How it is used and what it does? Check here for details: http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/word/HA010714941033.aspx

Nope but if the PC is networked it will cause MS Photo editor to crash when trying to print from File>Print\n\n\nWord perect is nearly the same as MS Office MS Word uses the same Background as word perfect, Word perfect was bought by Corell from Microsoft, There is minor conflicts that are fixed by a restart of the programme, You can even convert a MSword docco to WP no worries

In case you're wondering how that condition occurs, it can be caused when you open a document and then save the result as the Normal.dot template. Or you open the Normal template from File => New, add text, and then save the result. The document text becomes integrated with the Normal template. \nJust in case you run into this again.\n\nHere is a fix:\n\nLocate the template file Normal.dot and double click on it to open it. It should open Word. If that text appears delete it and exit saving the result as Normal.dot. \n\nBack to add - another more radical way if you're not worried about saving template customizations, is to locate Normal.dot and rename it. When Word next opens it creates a new Normal.dot

I think its because Word creates a .tmp version of whatever you are working on which is basically a duplicate of the original file...in this way if you select Undo from the edit option on your menu (or I think also if your computer crashes and Word tries to retrieve whatever you were previously working on) it can carry out the action.  I'd say that what you are trying to cut/paste is too large for it to hold 2 of them in memory....anyhow that's my guess.

Microsoft Word can do that.

Thank You!  I thought I was going crazy.  The same exact thing happens to me when I use spell check.  If it finds a word that is misspelled,and you change it, it doesn't change the word, but some other word and messes up the text. I don't use it anymore, I have a link to www.dictionary.com on my toolbar now.

Because you're dragging the mouse on the files as you mark them. Try reducing the mouse sensitivity or just be more careful.

Its acting normal. You just need to understand why.\n\nWhen you 1st started using the form fill in feature. There was very few entries that it remembered. Therefor pressing b found only one entry and brianq came up. Now you probably have several b records in there. It won't POP up the word until its sure it has the word you want (until it gets enough letters).\n\nTo fix this, you can CLEAR your web form history and this will reset you. For the 1st little while it will work like you expected. But given time, the "symptoms" you describe will return.
