If that line of text comprises a jumble of overtyped characters then
according to contributor Bob Buckland: "It's a bug that somehow seems to
have Word misreading temporary files related to the printer currently in
use. You can usually 'unscramble' the display from File=Print and switch
to the printer properties or to another printer then your normal one, or
close Word and delete all files found on Start=Search and looking for
~$*.*;*.tmp as the name string then restarting Word." See also

I have a document that opens fine but when I try to print it there is
only one VERTICAL line of text. The text is not horizontal as a
regular document would be just one thin line vertically. my program
is Office 2003 Student /Teacher. I have gone to the HELP menu and all
it talks about is ASIAN vertical. I tried to follow the steps but my
format button does not have an ASIAN LAYOUT tab. Does anyone know how
to get it back to printing horizontally????????????
