Crazy Thing Happening...when I type, the letters build up...

I am at a total loss...I was typing a doc when all of a sudden, the letters
started to layer on top of each other...hard to explain. An entire line of
text was "squished: all the way to the left. Tried to open a new doc and
start over and the same thing happened. Anyone have any ideas as to what
might be wrong? I am on the verge of being desperate here.

It could be a display driver issue, a corrupt or missing printer driver, but
I suspect corruption of normal.dot - see if renaming normal.dot to
oldnormal.dot fixes it. If it does, you can use the organizer to copy
personalisations from old to new. If it doesn't rename it back again.
