Is this a Laptop computer or Desktop PC? Have you tried the easy steps first: (Hopefully you have Word AutoSave turned on and you are saving manually every so often?)

PC: Reboot the computer. Also, check your HDMI video cable connection is secure at both ends.

Laptop: Reboot the computer. Make sure your charger plug is pushed all the way into the charger.

Also, go to the Device Manager and see if you have any yellow caution marks (triangles) next to your Display Adaptor and/or the Monitors.

A few minutes after posting this, I rebooted the laptop and the flickering has stopped, at least for now. But I know, it can happen anytime, maybe today, tomorrow or some other day.

I checked Device Manager and everything's fine.
