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

I was having the same problem also. I went into Add/Remove programs, selected Microsoft 2016 and repaired it "online". I had tried the quick repair first but it did not work. After I selected the repair online option it worked. No more black outs on my documents. So far so good.
Have you updated to the latest build?
