Visually distorted table after mouse wheel scrolling
Hi all,
I'am observing a strange phenomenon. Tables look completely distorted after scrolling repeatedly via mouse wheel. The symptoms of this table sickness, for instance, a - doubled cell borders, - borders overlap text - overlapping rows The distortion effect disappears as soon the screen is refreshed (by pressing PageUp/PageDown, for instance). Some further info: The problem is reproducable on different computers and with different Word versions. My document contains some styles and list templates, I've created programmatically. Anyway, I removed this stuff, but the problem was still there. Anyone out there suffering from this kind of table distortion? Bernd |

Visually distorted table after mouse wheel scrolling
Hi Bernd,
Visual effects like this, or pictures that disappear when you scroll up and down, are usually caused by video hardware that has insufficient processing power or outdated driver software. For video, Word is one of the most demanding programs outside of action games. To diagnose whether this is the cause, reduce the hardware video acceleration: Go to Start Settings Control Panel Display Settings Advanced Troubleshoot, and move the acceleration slider to the left. Then click the Apply button. At each notch on the slider, additional loads on the video hardware/software are turned off. Then try looking at a problem document in Word. If at some reduced acceleration setting the problems stop, then the video hardware/software is indeed the cause. First visit the web site of the video card's manufacturer or the computer vendor to look for updated driver downloads, which are usually free. If there are none, or if the update doesn't solve the problem, you may need to replace the card. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Visually distorted table after mouse wheel scrolling
Hi Jay,
you prevented me from spending many hours digging around in my Word documents. Today, I also observed the strange behaviour when scrolling a PDF document. So, it's definitely not restricted to Word. Thanx a lot Bernd |
