Hi all. There are a few documents that i print with ms word 2000 that has
some problems. Some of the characters in a word is printed on top of each
other causing the word itself to be illegible. The document looks fine when i
do a print preview. I reinstalled the printer, reinstall and repair ms word
but to no avail. The few documents that i had problem with works fine in my
other colleagues pc who are also using word 2000 on windows xp. Any idea
where i should check? Thks in advance.

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
