It's a sort of printer driver bug. Many people find that if the clear out
their temp folder it may resolve the problem. With all applications closed, go to your temp folder (normally in Documents and Settings, username, Local, Temp) which should be empty. Delete all the abandoned temp files (you may need to do this from a fresh reboot before opening any applications). Otherwise, make sure that you have the latest printer driver downloaded and then delete and reinstall the printer. Let us know if this works. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Sue" wrote in message ...

It isn't the printer. It's the document itself. The letters keep typing
over themselves (it's not a matter of using the "insert" button". The letters are not disappearing with each keystroke, they are being typed over and over in the same spot and by the time you finish a sentence, you have a very dark first "letter?" on the page/ "Terry Farrell" wrote: It's a sort of printer driver bug.

It's a printer driver issue. Close Word, change the default printer, and
open the doc again. I'll bet you have it set for an HP printer. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Sue" wrote in message ...

It worked for some reason. Will I be able to go back and change my default
to my normal printer without problems? "Terry Farrell" wrote: It's a sort of printer driver bug. Many people find that if the clear out their temp folder it may resolve the problem.

It seems to be an intermittant issue. You may never see it again or maybe
you will. If you fuss over it you will end up wasting a lot of time fighting an issue that's been going on for a while with no explanation. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Sue" wrote in message ...

You "think" it isn't, but it is. Though sometimes an abandoned temp file
from a crash can aggravate the problem. Terry "Sue" wrote in message ... It isn't the printer. It's the document itself.

Hi Sue,
Often if you go to File=Print in Word and choose another printer then immediately switch back to your 'regular' one that will also work on a temporary basis. ============ "Sue" wrote in message ...
