You can stop this by hitting page up or page down. This does not happen with my MS Word 5.0 on a Hewlett-Packard Vectra RS-20 or my no-name clone at home. Both have the 101 enhanced keyboards with separate cursor keys. It may be a bug, but it may not be. It could be (horror) something about your system, your BIOS or a number of things. I hate having to track down stuff like that. I wish you luck. Dave Guggisberg daveg@cv.hp.com
