Excel cell turns black whilst entering data

Hi,

There's a document that's used by some people in the office and whenever they try to enter data into it the cell turns black while they're doing it and they can't see what they've typed until they click off it. These documents are something to do with Sage and not something they've created and if they make a new sheet within them they can edit cells without issue. I'm sure it's just some setting somewhere but could someone please enlighten me as to what it might be?

Thanks

    If you do a rollback

    OfficeC2RClient.exe /update user updatetoversion=16.0.8326.2058

    That fixes the issue sort of.   Be sure to turn off automatic updates for office.

    The new update does not apply automatically when checking for updates.   I would imagine that MS is staging the update.

    I also couldn't find a place to manually download the update.

    Released: October 2, 2017 Version 1708 (Build8431.2094) Part of the release notes mention:

    'Fix an issue where the pattern style of a cell doesn’t render correctly after adding a header or footer in Page Layout view.'

    I am about to install and test.

    EDIT: the Office 2016 Deployment Tool is still downloading Version 16.0.8431.2079. I will try again later today or tomorrow.

    Its a day later and I still can't download 8431.2094 from the 2016 Deployment Tool.
