formating error

[Guest]

I am currently experiencing an error when I open my existing Word documents
whereby all of my text on a given line is being shown in one character space.
So all I see is black to the left on each line. I think it has something to
do with my printer and/or the update link fields.

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." See also
