Word 2003 Autotext Entries

[anniem]

I have several autotext entries that consist of credentials for
letterhead (several returns followed by a name, title, phone number,
and email). When one of these autotexts is inserted in teh document
it does not appear in the proper format. All the letters are shown on
top of each other. So, instead of Microsoft Word being written out it
would appear as a jumble within the first character. The letters
completely overlap, but are still present - when using backspace it
holds there until all characters are removed.
I am running Office 2003 on XP Pro. All updates are current and I
have uninstalled and reinstalled office. Any suggestions?

What Font? Arial? If so, then remove Arial from your Fonts folder and then
re-install it. We periodically run into that problem. Not sure why.

Thanks! I'll try that and cross my fingers that it sticks. The font
being used is Times though.
