Word Table is Flickering! - 12 Mar 2008 22:47 GMT

I have a table with five columns, 15 rows. The table seems to look like it's
in good order, but it keeps flickering on my screen. I emailed it to a
co-worker and it's doing it to them too. I tried to Open and Repair the
file, but Word did not find anything wrong with the document. Does anyone
know how to stop the flickering?

Is it set to resize automatically? That usually isn't a problem except in
headers that vacillate between portrait and landscape, but any kind of auto
resizing does require Word to constantly be doing a lot of paddling beneath
the water.

I have often noticed that when working within a table and the White Space is
hidden, the table flickers. Showing the White Space stops this.
Do you have White space showing, what view are you wrking in?
What version of Word?
Hope this helps
