Corrupt font? condensed on screen and print, but not in format pre
I formatted a letter for mail merge and tried to print one page. Now, all
text is condensed to 1/2" width on left margin. When I open format/font/character spacing ... the preview looks fine. Scale, spacing and position are all normal. Word would not let me "undo" and when I closed the file without saving ... it still looks odd. The original file is also corrupted. |

Graham Mayor has posted this reply to a similar question:
******* 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."
