Sounds stupid but if you're using XP try turning down your Hardware Acceleration. This solves a similar problem in powerpoint.

Right click desktop -> Properties -> Settings (tab) -> Advanced -> Troubleshoot (tab)
Then move the slider till it says "Disable all DirectDraw and Direct3D accelerations, as well as all cursors and advanced drawing accelerations..."

Hope that works for you
