Hi jtsafnat,

Which version of Word are you using?

For Word 2007, run the Office Diagnostics, which you can to via Word_Options|Resources.

Given you additional information, the document may be corrupt or the problem may be with your print driver.

Do other applications print satisfactorily? If not, the problem is most likely with the print driver, and you will need to
re-install/replace it.

Do other Word documents print satisfactorily? If so, your document may be corrupt, in which case, you might find that copying the
undamaged portions to a new document and recreating the return address portion will cure the problem.

Cheers

When I am saying 'strange' I mean as an example: !"#$#% etc. some of these
strange character are even overtyped (" overtyped on .) and spacing
diminished.
I tried few different fonts when typed the return address, all of them look
perfect on my display before and after printing. Only on the printout I am
getting those strange characters.
I did not try the 'Detect and Repair' and I don't know how to do it, please
help.
The fonts I am using are normal Office fonts, and I don't have any problem
displaying or printing the Address itself.

Anyway thank you, and hope you can elaborate with a solution.

So what's 'strange' about it? Just saying you're getting "strange characters" isn't very helpful.

Are you sure the return address is formatted with a font that is available on your system?
Have you tried running 'Detect and Repair' from Word's Help menu?
Have you tried reinstalling the font?

Cheers

When printing an envelope I am getting strange characters in the return
address.
I tried to type the return address directly on the "envelopes and Labels"
field, as well as in the Word optionsAdvancedmailing address.
I am using Office 2007 (sp1).
Please help
Thanks, jtsafnat
