Words/Letters all squashed up at the start of a line
Hi,
When I open a word document, all the words and letters are squashed up at the beginning of the line, all sort of on top of each other. Does anyone know what maybe causing this? (word 2003/XP Pro SP2) |

It's often attributed to a printer driver issue. Try changing the default
printer. You can change back before you print it if needed. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Scooby" wrote in message ...

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."
