Word 2003 Squished Text

[Kim]

Word intermittenly squishes the text of my entire document after I click the
print button. I can do several things to unsquish the text:

1. Save doc, close Word, and reopen doc
2. Change the font type or size
3. Change to a different printer and then back to the original
4. Change the view to Web Layout
5. Highlight all text and where format = Normal select Clear Formatting

I've recreated this problem using several different printer types, so I
don't think it's the printer driver. This is annoying. Why is it occurring?
Help!

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
