Default Text is typing over the top of itself

When i type on word the text is typing over itself. This is not overtype, it
is visibly typing each letter on top of the other! Any suggestions would be
most appreciated!

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
