Hi Patricia,
Unfortunately, there are several items in both LO and Windows that could be
causing the problem.

A good practice when requesting help from a list such as this one is to provide
as much information as possible and let the viewers/responders sift through
it.  This could include make/model of computer, type of display adapter (if
known), operating system and version, version of LO (or other app), what you
were doing at the time of an error/problem, and any other information that
seems pertinent.  It is often to also include copies of pertinent log files for
review.  Some of this is difficult for a non-technical person to determine but
provide what you are able and we will request more if needed (and tell you how
to get it).  Another worthwhile item to provide are screen shots depicting the
problem.

If you would provide as much of the above information we will try to respond
with helpful suggestions.  Actually, with the number of authors who use LO, you
might well find further information in the FAQs.

Tom
