Sentences merge together when print

[Studebaker]

I'm using MS Word 2003 to create a document on my office's network drive.
Sometimes...not always...when I make a change to the doc, save it and print
the current page to my local printer (not the network printer) or maybe a
small range of pages my doc will be messed up.
After I print I will see that, within each paragraph, all of the sentences
will merge together onto one line. I can't make out the words or sentences
b/c they are all scrunched together onto one line.
I tried going to Format/Paragraph/Line Spacing and changing the line spacing
back to 1.5--like it should be--but that doesn't work. In fact, I have to
reset that dialog box--including where you adjust the
pagination/Widow/Orphan--b/c it's either set on nothing or all the check
boxes are checked off.
What I end up doing is closing the doc, don't save it, and reopening it a
couple of times and mysteriously it will open with the sentences looking
normal. I'm concerned it won't do that one day.
Is it a problem my local printer's driver...even though it doesn't happen
all the time? Can anyone help re: this?

Thanks very much!

It's a printer driver bug. Often switching to print Preview and back to Page
Layout view will sort it. Other times it may be necessary to change printers
or possibly to close and reopen Word.
