Greetings,

  I am about to be driven mad by Word 4.0.  If any line that I type becomes
longer than a word or two, the line flickers as I type!  (In other words, the
text that I have already typed, on the line in which I am typing, redraws with
every keystroke, and it is slow enough to flicker visibly).

  Is this a common "feature" of Word 4.0, or is this something unique to my
system?  I certainly don't remember it happening on my old Plus, but the IIx
does it.  Could it be the SuperMac Colorcard/24?  None of my other
applications do this!!! Suggestions??

System: Mac IIx, 5Mb RAM, LaCie 105Mb HD, System 6.0.4, Finder 6.1.4,
Multifinder 6.1b7, millions of inits (init cdev 2.0, Vaccine v1, AntiToxin
INIT, Sound Master, Color Arrow, Color Finder, Dimmer, Finder Sounds, IconWrap
1.2, Logout 1.0, Master Strokes, Mouse2, OnCue, Pop-Keys, Rear Window MF,
Scroll Limit, SCSI, Smooth Clock, Suitcase II 1.2.6, SuperClock 3.1,
SuperVideo, WindowList, Boomerang 2.0, DeskPict, Randomizer, SUM Shield INIT).

Thanks,
--Mike
