Hi All,
I am using Microsoft Word 2011 on a Mac Mini OS X 10.8.3. My problem is this: when I am in the middle of editing Word documents that have already been worked on by other authors, the whole document suddenly turns blank and the menus at the top of the screen disappear. I cannot see any text or select anything at all.
Then, when I click on a different window, e.g. Firefox (to search for a solution!!) and the Word document is left open in the background, the text suddenly reappears in the Word document. When I return to the Word doc and click on it to resume my work, the text and Word menus disappear AGAIN. The affected documents have [compatibility mode] in the document title.
I have found that a short-term fix is to quit and restart Word, and the problem eventually goes away ... temporarily. But this problem keeps plaguing me (especially when I am trying to meet an important deadline).
Any ideas for a long-term fix?
Many thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!:Blushing:
