I have noticed that every so often, when i attempt to print a file that
somehow all the text formats to the left e.g. all letters etc on top of each
other.

Can anyone explain how this is caused. If I save the file and then import
it into a new document the formatting error is gone - obviously the new
documents formatting takes precedence.

Any ideas most appreciated

According to Office MVP Bob Buckland, this problem could be
caused by Word temporarily losing track of the printer driver.
You can usually fix the problem by clicking on File-Print,
change printers, change back, then Close.
