Default Unusual spacing in word document

I have a user with unusual spaces in all word documents. It looks like
there are extra spaces in the line, but when you delete it will delete
the next character, also prints with the extra spacing,

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling office, recently just
updated to office 2003 to see is this helped.

Typing a new document this problem also occurs.

On a windows xp machine. Scanned for viruses and all updates done.

All the user's file's appear and print okay on other computers.
Wondering if there may be a setting that needs changed, trying to
avoid rebuilding the system.

Thanks in advance

A few possibilities immediately spring to mind - a corrupt normal.dot file
(rename it and let Word build another) a corrupt font (replace the font file
with a known good one), or a corrupt printer driver (uninstall the driver on
the user's machine and re-install it).

My guess would be the last one.
