Hidden text

[Jess08]

I recently changed from Word 03 to Word 07. Everything was fine for about a
month, but now, when I look at my Word documents, the formatting is off, and
some text is hidden (unless I view it in Full Screen Reading). Even viewing
in in Full Screen does not prevent the document from printing with formatting
errors. Please help if you know something I don't! Thank you!

Hi Jess,

Can you be more specific in how the formatting is 'off' ?
Have you installed any add-ins or new or updated software recently?

Do you have a default printer selected
Office Button=>Print=>Print

Hey Bob - When I say the formatting is "off" when I print, I mean that what I
see on my screen is different than what is printed. But my main concern is
not seeing the correct format in the first place. Example - I have many
transmittals saved to my computer. I opened a transmittal in a Word doc from
about 3 weeks ago. When I opened it, the format is not the same as the
original document. It is "off". So, when I view the doc in Full Screen, I can
see the "hidden" text that was there 3 weeks ago originally, but when I edit
in that screen, the actual document that prints out looks completely
different. What I am wondering is if there is a code encrypted that I am not
aware of? Please let me know if you need more info - I'd be happy to send a
picture of what I am viewing and what I should be viewing (ex-the doc from 3
weeks ago). Thanks for all your help!!

Hi Jess,

Yes, in this case having a link to a picture of the should be vs 'is' condition could be helpful
Not too easy to see from here what the differences would be from what you're used to seeing

What view are you working in and do you have hidden text set to display?
