Text Box Mouse Wheel Problem

[Carlos V]

When I use the scroll wheel on my mouse to scroll within a
Word document, any text boxes in that document don't
refresh correctly and the text box lines are then
displaced in various ways across the page. Does anyone
know why this occurs/what I can do about it? It only
happens with the scroll wheel.

Thanks!

scroll off page, use page up/dn to come back. It has to do with a
'bug' in the original render engine, StoneHand, used by MS. Although
tweaked and booted, it still yields some basic problems.

First and foremost being the rounding off of numbers in the incredibly
lame gfx render system it uses. This yields pixel size errors in final
render calculations, leaving you with the described artifacts.

Using the scroll wheel forces page movements by lines. Line sizes have
to be calculated from the Word page. These calculations introduce
creeping errors and most mouse wheel action is lengthy enough to see
rounding errors introduced through prolonged creep.

When I use the scroll wheel on my mouse to scroll within a
Word document, any text boxes in that document don't
refresh correctly and the text box lines are then
displaced in various ways across the page. Does anyone
know why this occurs/what I can do about it? It only
