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

    We noticed the same thing, but when we change the view to normal view instead of page layout view it stops. 

    But we are changing Header's  daily and need to see the them.

    Has anyone reported this to microsoft?

    OK, here's a work-around.    change your view from page layout to normal.
