why is my text typing on itself to make a big black blob?

[Guest]

i had typed my whole science paper and hit on button and each line turned
into black blobs. then i opened a new document and tried to type and all the
letters were typing to make on big blob and i couldnt see any of the letter
but if i made the font 76 i could.

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
