While working on my microsoft office document, I ran into a huge problem.
The text boxes seem to have a mind of their own. When I enter characters
(letters, numbers, spaces, etc.) the screen jumps, data is erased or deleted,
and sometimes funny little characters appear. What should I do?
 
Take a course in Word wordprocessing springs to mind, but:
Is this a form? Is it locked?
Text boxes having a mind of their own? What does that mean?
Data erasing is probably a result of being in overtype mode. Press the INS
key once.
Funny little characters are probably formatting characters. Press CTRL+*
(which is probably how you activated it) or the ¶ button on the toolbar to
toggle the display.
