select a textbox.
If this simple selection of the textbox causes the contents to become

font with another?
1) Select the entire text box -> Format -> Font and select a new font
from the list in the upper left quadrant of the dialog box -> OK
Have you applied all the Office updates, video driver updates, DirectX
updates? These may correct a display issue.
