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

news
I have a Word document that had full justification on it. When I went to
print, it smashed all the letters on top of one another. It was as 7 page
document, but is now in seven lines, each line with about 1.5" of very
black
text. There doesn't seem to be anything in page setup that can account
for
this. It looks "normal" in the "read" window.
