Flickering Word
Everytime I get on my Word it begins to flicker. NOt only does it flicker, but any page that I have open flickers. I am not sure why and I need it to sop because I can't type anything up and when I try it takes like 5 minutes to type a few words because of the constant flickering. Also, the curser seems to be on saving mode the whole time and its not saving anything. Its just a constant circle and nothing happens.

2. Disable Word addins. Go to Tools => COM Add-ins, selecting the Add-in and clicking Remove. To remove a global template for the current Word session, you can select Tools => Templates and Add-ins and deselect the relevant checkbox.
3. Check if an external program running in the background is interfering with Word. Check Firewall, antivirus, antispyware, antispam, and all Norton programs. Disable these programs one at a time.
4. Repair MS Word. With Word open, go to Help > Detect and Repair.
5. If no joy, reinstall MS Word. Go to Add/Remove Programs and highlight Microsoft Office. Click on Install/Uninstall. A menu will pop allowing you to choose repair or reinstall.
Hope this helps!
