Default Track Changes Problem - lines from comments & deletions don't go to right text.


I'm using track changes in Word 2003 and more often than not the line from the deletion or comment doesn't go to the right place in the text. In other words, if you follow the line from the deletion or comment balloon to the text, you won't be where the deletion was made or what the comment refers to. How can this be fixed?

That's quite possibly a display driver issue; I suggest downloading and installing the latest display driver for your system.

Did you check the display driver maker's website?

Does it make a difference if you change the zoom percentage on the document?

No, it doesn't. And it doesn't happen all the time. Weird.

In that case, it's almost certainly a display driver issue.
