why is the text overwriting itself in a header or footer?
One of my students was entering text into a header and the letters kept
overwriting themselves in the same place, ie one on top of the other - does anyone know why this might have happened and what can we do to prevent it? |

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."
