I have never heard of this problem and the triangles do not ring a bell. Could you upload a small example file? The file size limit is 128KB but we only need a few rows of data. To upload a file, click Post Reply and look for the Upload Attachment tab just below the box where you type a response.

A guess: try /View /Zoom and set 100% or if there is a box in bottom right of OO window with a % symbol, enter 100.
