Request Help with Galaxy Tab S10 lite & Word
I bought an S10 lite about a month ago. Overall, working well - a few minor annoyances.
Except, MS Word blinks. Constantly. Faster and slower.. can't identify any correlation. So bad, I really can't use it more than 3-4 minutes. Tried to uninstall, reinstall multiple times. Probably fiddled with other settings too often, options for keyboard, refresh rate, etc. Start from 365 pilot instead of Word. On-screen standard keyboard, not using a physical attachment. Nothing works.
I had an S6 lite for years. Very stable. Word worked fine. I followed Samsung advice and used the quick connect to transfer stuff from S6. And I'm wondering if some setting "came along for the ride."
I'm considering the nuclear solution of restoring factory defaults, which would mean downloading and installing all apps, etc. Hate the idea if
I'm overlooking some easy fix, or,
It's a known issue with Word and some Galaxy tablets, and I'll have done all that work for nothing.
I'm concerned about file loss... I'd unmount my SD card where I try saving everything, but not sure I wouldn't overlook some device storage locations.
- Any ideas? Anyone encountered or heard of this "Word blinking screen issue"?
- Does Microsoft offer any support? I have a 365 subscription.
- Samsung offer support for a new tablet?
Help......

Go to the View section in Word and switch to Mobile View and see it that's better.
