At work we use Office XP and when typing in Word there are multi coloured dots appearing and sparkling around the text making it unusable.



Can anyone help with a solution?

This is a cute little text feature in Word, if I'm not mistaken. Open your font dialogue and select the second tab. you should find a "text effects" option there somewhere that includes the effect you're experiencing. Uncheck it and you should be back to normal.

Note that if it was changed in your Normal.dot or Normal.dotm template, you'l have to open and change it there.
