Screen is getting scrambled in word documents!

Hi! So you can see the issue below is that my document is getting completely scrambled when using word. It usually fixes itself when I change my view but sometimes it does not. Anything in yellow is edited by me - the yellow boxes are not part of the problem. 

Anyone have any idea why this happens?  I have a newer / fast computer that should work fine with this. 

This happens in Microsoft Word 2013. 

This issue is confined to Microsoft Office Word only

I get no error messages, just the scrambled screen like is shown below. 

I did not make any changes to my computer prior to this happening.

Answer

Try to disable hardware acceleration: File->Options->Advanced, scroll down to the section Display and Place a check mark in the box for Disable hardware graphics acceleration.

This usually solves graphics issues in Office, and on a new, fast computer you'll likely not notice any difference in performance.
