Flashing Highlighted Text

[Mike]

When i open a word document, i get flashing text that is
highlighted in black. i can't seem to figure out how to
stop the flashing highlight

You might try highlighting the text and go to Format>Font. Go to the tab
that says "text effects". Make sure it says None instead of blinking
background. If it already says none, I'm not sure why it is blinking like
that.

Good luck!
