Text issues

[Guest]

I loose the text or it becomes noletter formed jibberish on my file, view,
insert etc....headings & drop downs. I get a wide bar that runs horizontally
on my screen that blocks everything behind it out. If I reboot it is fine
for a bit. Seems to happen reguardless of whether I am online or in office
programs.

Sounds like it may be a virus, if being online or offline doesnt make a
difference. Have you tried running anti-virus and anti-spyware scans? Make
sure their updated with the latest definitions.

But, it could also be a problem with the Office program, if you still have
the disc and lisence code for it, i would reccomend re-installing it, but
make sure you back up all your work first, just in case! Use that only as a
last resort, since its more likely to be malware or viruses.

Does this only affect Office?

That could be the graphics card, or power supply.. its fan may have
stopped. When you reboot, it's had time to cool slightly, or reset till
it overheats again.

It could also be a damaged system font.
