In Word 2003, our font choices changed to A, B, C, etc. All other
applications are normal and the fonts look ok in the control panel. I have
tried:
1)Changed printer to HP printer from Epson
2)Reinstalled the Epson printer
3)Repaired Word
4)Uninstalled and reinstalled Word

all to no avail. Any ideas?

This may be related to a problem that causes filenames to be reduced to one
letter; this problem occurs when Word is set to (Windows 95) compatibility
mode in
Windows XP. Instructions from Office MVP Beth Melton for correcting this:

To rectify:

- Locate WinWord.exe
- Right-click and select Properties
- Select the Compatibility tab
- See if you have a Compatibility Mode set
- If set remove the tick in "Run this program in compatibility mode"

Thanks, Suzanne, that seemed to fix it! Not sure why it got in compatibility
mode.
