Problems switching from Web Layout View to Normal View

A

Ashlee777

I just typed up a lovely word document in Web view, since I jus
realized that using the web view I can accurately gauge how long m
posts will be.

However, when I went to print the document it came out with the line
of text all smashed together and switching back to normal or prin
views does the same thing.

How do you switch between the two without the type completely rollin
back on itself

Windows usually
helps. After you've restarted, you may want to delete any left-over
temporary files (for more on that, see
http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm).

A long-term solution might be to update the printer driver.

Thanks for your help. I know I've had other issues with my printer,
but I believe the issue is within MS word itself.

Copying the text from web view into another word document set in normal
view smashes the text all the way to the left of the page - paragraphs
of text become like five lines with hundreds of characters in a 1 inch
spot of the page. Switching back to the normal view in the original
document does the same thing. The only way the text can be viewed
normally is in the web view, but it cannot be copied or printed in that
fashion.

Has anyone ever encountered this type of problem and knows how to fix
it?

As I wrote, restarting and deleting temporary files should work. Did you try
that?

I'm not quite sure how to delete temporary files (the link you gave m
apparently doesn't exist), but this time it worked!
Thank you.

With Windows SP3, my printer constantly has errors and I've neve
really looked into updating the printer driver.

I have no difficulty accessing the linked article. You may want to try
again.

To update a printer driver, go to the manufacturer's web site.
