We have Word 2002/2003 documents that we are linking using Paste Special
(file link) in Word 2007. It is causing errors with the character spacing of the text once the link is created. Is there a known cause or fix for this. We are creating tests and this problem is making them un-usable. It gets even more distorted once update link has been selected. Any help would be appreciated. |

What happens if you select the contents, including the fields, and press
Ctrl+SpaceBar as well as Ctrl+Q (to restore settings to style)? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "P.

Does the text print badly or is it just a display problem?
Have you tried switching to Print Preview and back to see if it clears it? Try using a different printer to see if that resolves it. Make sure that Word can see the printer correctly and that the printer driver is locally installed. Terry "P. Zicari" wrote in message ...
