My words are backing up on the line rather than going to the next

My words are backing up on the line and making a black blob. What do I need
to do?

If you have Word 2003 or earlier, try turning off background
printing in Tools | Options | Print.

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
