Word Causes Messages to Be “Blacked Out”

[Cyberdude]

I know next to nothing about Word 2007, but it seems to be causing an annoying effect on my Task Bar messages. I have my Word page background set to white with a black font. When I have Word executing and minimize it briefly to see Task Bar messages otherwise obscured by the Word sheet, then the text box that displays messages from something on the Task Bar is shown with a black background and presumably a black font, so I can’t see what the message is. How can I make that stop so I can read the messages?

1. Maybe Word thinks you're too young to see that kind of language????

2. I always check "Lock Taskbar" and uncheck "AutoHide Taskbar" because I like to have it always there. Right click the taskbar, and go to Properties

Maybe that'll help?
