    Word 2000 blinking cursor!!

    Got a funny in MS Word 2000 under Win2kSP4 where the blinking text cursor will blink itself the same colour as the background, then stop blinking, effectively becoming invisible.
    This seems to happen with large docs and is driving me mad when I'm trying to edit them!
    I've tried changing background colours and the cursor blink rate, but it didnt do any good.
    Ideas anyone?

              Set it to white chars on blue background and wonder why, o why, did we ever leave WP 5.1.

              With Word 2003 I got the issue that when scrolling, object that dissapear above or below don't get redrawn after scrolling them back on screen again. Bloody anoying.

                      Yep, sp3 or sp2, not sure, running under WXP SP2 / DX9.0b or c. Did something else as well as an M$ KB article told me it might have to do with GDI+ vs GDI orsumting, all to no avail.
