Hi,

I'm running Word 2003 as part of Small Business package. Every so often,
just as I go to print a document, all the words in a paragraph will all run
in together - basically, they're trying to squeeze all on the one line. It
makes no difference whether it is a 2 line or 20 line paragraph - they all do
it. I haven't yet worked out how to "undo" this - simply pressing undo
doesn't help. Of course, this always seems to happen on larger documents,
which I end up having to retype - a major pain! I've tried copying into
another document, but that makes no difference either. I've also tried
inserting hard returns, which makes it appear ok on the screen, but still
prints all jammed up.

I'm at a loss as to what causes this and what to do about it - any
suggestions?

Megan

Have you gone to the web site of your printer and looked around for an updated
driver?

Hi Mary,
