You friend didn't mention which version of Word he is using, but in
Word 5, the Options menu allows you to set screen colors.  I've never heard
of the VGA environment variable being used in conjunction with Word.  I
use Word on a VGA and don't use it.  Did your friend change the monitor
and card after installing Word for a different display device?  If so,
he will need to rerun the Setup program.

I don't know about the TP250p monitor, but the original NEC MultiSync
cannot perform the vertical syncing for VGA.  Ever program (or display
mode within Word) produces a different vertical screen size.

This really POed me when I found out about it.
