Character Spacing - Condensed
Occasionally, I'll open up a previous Word document and all of the
characters/text are squooshed together on top of one another. The only way I can figure out to correct it is to change the character spacing from 100% to 101%, but I shouldn't have to do that, especially for each and every document that it happens to. What's happening with the documents? |

Character Spacing - Condensed
This seems to happen when Word temporarily loses track of the printer
driver. Some users report that the problem is cleared by opening the Print dialog, changing the selected printer, changing back to the desired one, and clicking Close. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks! Would this also occur on the screen vs. when it prints?

The question under discussion has to do with the screen display. I don't
know that anyone has been brave enough to try to print when the document looks like that! -- Suzanne S.

It might not be a bad idea to put it in place now before it happens. :-)
This fix affects the entire computer, not just the individual document. "gapkid" wrote: Thanks! I'll give it a try the next time this happens to me!

Finally, a solution that works! [Squished Text]
Hi Brian,
Since you didn't tie this posting to anything, I'm assuming you're using this suggestion, to turn off Background printing, relative to the 'squished/pile up' print issue with Word 2003? This is one of the workarounds, (also seems to help with other print issues with HP printers in particular) but isn't, unfortunately, always available to users in corporate environments. Switching to another printer name and back is another. Unfortunately, it's still not confirmed in MS's testing that as on a consistent basis if it's the .tmp and .spl files leftover from Word or the printer drivers that seem to cause this, but it's definitely worth trying ========== "Brian Stevenson" wrote in message ...
