HELP! Word is highlighting everything!

I

Isaac

Hi,

I am having some problems with Word... I recently had to
reformat my computer and reinstall everything (due to
internet problems). When I reinstalled Microsoft Office
(XP) on to the computer (running Windows 98 SE) Word
started highlighting everything that I typed in black. It
will highlight the entire screen so you can't see a thing
you type. If I change the font colour to red I can then
see my text, but the screen stays highlighted in black
(like if I had selected the text with my cursor).

I originally thought that highlighting might be turned on,
but this is not the case. I have tried uninstalling and
reinstalling office to no avail.

I'm working on another computer that is having the same
problem, except it is running Office 2000 on Windows ME.
So I don't see the problem as being a compatibility issue
between the OS and Office. Office XP was also working fine
on this computer before the initial format, so that further
rules out that as the cause in my mind.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to how I can
solve this?

Thanks.
