Solution

When inserting headlines or other objects into a project, they do not display correctly on the screen. These objects may appear jumbled or overlapping, or they may not appear at all. An outdated video card driver, having some versions of Monotype Sorts fonts or having too many fonts installed can cause this issue. Lowering hardware acceleration, updating the video card driver or deleting some fonts from Windows® should resolve the issue.

  2. Right-click a blank area on the desktop and left-click Properties from the menu that appears. The Display Properties will open. 
  3. Click the Settings tab.
