My office 2003 sp2. When i click the line spacing icon (down arrow),
this error occurs. "This, is an invalid quantity"
Can someone give info about solving this error?

Kind regards

I've not seen that problem but I would suspect a corrupt printer driver.
Make sure that you have the latest printer driver from the printer
manufacturer's support site and then delete and reinstall the printer.

I haven't printer. And "This, is an invalid quantity" error occurs five
times. (I click OK five times.) I can adjust line spacing from
view/paragraph. But i can't do it from line spacing icon from format
toolbar.

Word requires a printer driver to format the document.

I haven't printer.

That may be the problem. Word consults the printer driver of the currently
selected printer to find out what page sizes, margins, etc. are valid. You
probably have something like the Generic Text printer selected in the Print
dialog, and it's supplying unusable information.

Even though you don't have a physical printer, you should install the driver
for some real printer -- many of them are supplied with Windows -- and
select that printer in Word's Print dialog, then cancel the dialog. Then try
formatting your document.

I did it. But the problem is continuing. I installed hp laserjet and
Samsung ml 1660 drivers.

When you open the Format > Paragraph dialog, what does the Line Spacing
setting say?

line spacing icon problem occurs.

Run Detect and Repair from the Help Menu.

Have you set one of the printer drivers as Windows Default? Does Word see
it?

help menu can't detect this error.
Yes, i set a driver for MS Office 2003 Sp 1. But i use another version
too. Version is MS office 2003 sp3. In Sp3 version, there is no printer
and drivers.
I doubt about a trojan or macro. But i didn't use any macro.

As previously stated, Word will not work properly without a printer. Your
problems all stem on the lack of printer driver or a corrupt printer driver.

How are Word 2003 sp1 and Word 2003 sp3 coexisting on the same computer?
Why?

Did you run Detect and Repair?

Both PCs show the same Line Spacing error? Both using the same printer
driver?

Yes. Both of them gives same line spacing error. And driver printers are
not same.

I'm out of ideas with this problem. I've certaily not seen it reported
previously. I can only recommend that you call Microsoft and log this as a
fault.
