MS Office Jumping Shaking jogging while scrolling or changing panes on external monitor

Hi All, 

Im running W10 with 365 office pro 

lenovo X1 Carbon notebook

when editing word documents on an external monitor, the document tends to jump around horizontally while scrolling or editing 

its a very quick, momentary motion, but enough that it is quite nauseating to look at for extended periods of time. 

interesting thing is,  i only see this behaviour while the document is on the external monitor, not when it is on the laptop monitor 

is it some interaction between word and the video driver? 

i only see this on MS word

there is a potentially related phenomena with excel where the excel pane flickers / freezes until the monitor is unplugged or excel rebooted that occurs when dragging a pane between monitors. 

any thoughts would be
