There's some kind of rendering issues with Microsoft Office 365 and nobody seems to be reporting it in any kind of news.
I'm personally experiencing it, and know another person who has the same issue.
More and more people keep reporting this on Microsoft forum.

Any input on this would be great.
Was wondering if Tom's could get somebody from Microsoft to look at this.
 
I am running Windows 11 Pro and Microsoft Office 365. No problems noted to date.

I scanned through the various postings, comments, etc. in the link. Something certainly seems astray....

Just as a matter of elimination, run "sfc /scannow" and "dism".

Determine if the problem ends or changes.

You can also look in Reliability History and Event Viewer. Either one or both may be capturing some errors, warnings, or informational events that correspond with times that text begins appearing, disappearing, moving, or corrupted.

The next step is to go into Task Manager and Task Scheduler. Objective being to minimize what apps and utilities are being launched at start up (Task Manager) or later triggered via Task Scheduler.

Premise being that Microsoft Office 365 is being affected by something else that is running either directly or in the background.

If the text problems end you can then start returning launched apps and triggers one at a time allowing for time between each. If the text problem returns then it is likely that the last app run is involved.

Not absolving Microsoft Office 365 per se. Objective being to eliminate other possibilities.
