characters printing on top of each other
I am a Word 2007 user. Occasionally, characters will print on top of each
other at the far left hand margin. Suggestions for a cure? -- sgorman |

I don't have an answer, but I think I have the same problem in Word 2007.
It's intermittent and affects multiple users: each line in a document prints superimposed on the first (left-hand) character of the line. The exception is for text that has direct formatting applied -- italics, bold, highlighting, etc. That text prints out more or less as it should. But "normal" text is all squished up at the left margin. Also, the act of printing causes this distortion to happen on the user's screen, too -- not just on the printed page. Usually restarting Word will cause the problem to correct itself for a given document, but it's still a big nuisance. -- Marvin Long, Jr. "sgorman" wrote: I am a Word 2007 user.

I believe, though not 100% sure, this could be down to incorrect version of
printer driver for your OS and Office version, especially if you have a HP printer. Hope this points you in the right direction.

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."
