comments area shows black box on one machine

[Sharon]

I have a worksheet that has several comments. I can view
the comments as they should be seen on all my computers
but one. On one computer, when you click in the comment
box, a black square shows up. If you edit comment, it
will show the comment in the standard yellow background
box, but as soon as you click out of it, it goes back to a
black background and stays on the screen.

All of the computers are configured the same, have Windows
2000 and Office 2000.

Could it be a user setting? Have you tried logging onto the machine with a
different profile?

HTH, Greg
