letters print on top of each other in word2003

We recently installed the new upgrade from Microsoft. However, we have a very
basic problem. In landscape mode all the letters display and print on top of
each other, making documents impossible - looking just like Chinese.

Yours in extreme exasperation and not just a little angry.

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
