Hi Everyone,
I am now unable to insert text into my Word document since my recent Windows 365 and Office update.
All that happens now is that tiny empty squares appear where the text letters should be.
I am unable to find any way to get text to appear.
Being technically useless, and well past my sell-by date, any reply with advice would be appreciated in clear wording, please!
Thank you.
Colin.

Perhaps the problem is with the font you are using? That should be the first thing to check (along with the font size). Does this happen in just one specific document or in any document? If you create a new blank document, do you have the same problem? A screen shot would be helpful.
