Jan 03, 2017 Word Looks Like Graph Paper January 3, 2017 by Carol Bratt Comments are off I have received frantic e-mails and phone calls from clients telling me that all of a sudden when they open Word their document opens up with a strange graph paper effect. Weird text cursor in word document won't go away I have a gray text cursor that's stuck in my word document. I've tried to get rid of it by deleting lines of text and paragraphs but it seems to be stuck in place.
