Hi,
A word-processing document flows that way so that your objects stay in the same relative position to the text as you add or delete text and objects. You can change this behavior, though. You can make an object stay in an exact position in the document so that text flows around the object, and it doesn’t move with the text — this is known as.
I had the same problem with Word 16.14 on a MacPro 2010 running Mac OS 10.13.5 with 2 graphic cards, the original (an quite old) NVidia GT120 and a More modern Radeon 7950. I tried everything to solve the issue from a software perspective (twick MacOS color parameters - update to the most recent releases of Office 365 including the Insider Fast release (16.16 - 180709) - downgrade of the OS to an earlier release 10.13.4 - complete wipeout of Office and clean reinstall) and finally figured out it could be a HW issue.
- By Peter Weverka. Put text in a text box when you want a notice or announcement to stand out on a Word 2016 page. Like other objects, text boxes can be shaded, filled with color, and given borders, as the examples shown demonstrate.
- If you are using Mac, simply highlight paragraph and choose format > paragraph and enter.5 in the indention area. Note: The instructions COM Librarian found online state to highlight the text, access the paragraph menu using the Format menu at the top of the screen, select Indents and Spacing, click Special, select Hanging, make sure the indentation is.5, and hit OK.
I did a safe start and bingo, highlighting was functionnal again.
When I rebooted in normal mode, the 'bug' was there again
So i Finally decided to play with HW components.
I started by removing the old GT120, rebooted, and jackpot, Word was fully functionnal again.
My bet is that there is probably a bug hiding somewhere in Apple's graphic drivers.
BTW removing that card also solved a display problem with PixelMator that appeared simultaneously with the Word 'bug'.
