Fix line fragmentation cause by scrolling in Word

No. It's a Word problem--are you surprised?

Not only a Word problem

It's not only a Word problem. I have had this problem in several apps (firefox, mail.app, Internet Explorer, Camino, Open Office) on my powerbook (primary display only) before I replaced it with a macbook pro.

Please don't let your personal disdain for MS products influence you when trying to determine what the cause of a problem is.

My guess is that you had another problem, or perhaps two separate problems, because this is a well documented problem with MS Word

I have always just quit Word and reopened it to correct the problem

Doubt it was any other problem.... This occured on my PB from day one, right out of the box. I could recreate this problem every time by having PhotoShop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver in layout mode open and then trying to scroll in any app that had large fields of text.

I could also reproduce it less reliably with other graphic intensive apps, but those 3 combined caused it in every app that I mentioned in my original post.

Well, it is a well-documented problem with MS Word. You are the only person I've heard form that has this problem with any other app. That would lead me to believe that the problem is indeed with Word, and not OS X.

I've never had this problem with any application other than Word, though I've only noticed it on an external Dell monitor. I've never had the problem on my Apple Cinema Display.
