Word 2016 font and format display incomplete when opened

Question

Occasionally, the text may not be fully displayed, only half of it is displayed. But occasionally it will display intact.

Answer 1

Is this document-specific or does it happen with any document?

If the issue occurs with multiple documents, it may be a display issue and updating the video driver for your device may be the solution.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Hi,

Did this problem appear in all Word documents?

Did you install custom font in PC?

If this problem appears in specific documents, I suggest you check the Fonts you're using and the Spacing for the document.

If this problem appears in all Word documents, as John Korchok said, please repair Office application.

Please be a bit more precise to explain your problem or you can upload a screenshot so that I can get more accurate solutions to this problem. I’m glad to help and follow up your reply.
