Default vertical vs horizontal text

I have a document that opens fine but when I try to print it there is only
one VERTICAL line of text. The text is not horizontal as a regular document
would be just one thin line vertically. my program is Office 2003 Student
/Teacher. I have gone to the HELP menu and all it talks about is ASIAN
vertical. I tried to follow the steps but my format button does not have an
ASIAN LAYOUT tab. Does anyone know how to get it back to printing
horizontally????????????

I believe that sometimes this problem can be overcome by selecting a
different printer in the File Print dialog, and then changing back to the
original one.

If that line of text comprises a jumble of overtyped characters then
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." See also
