I have a desktop that uses the MAC OS X and I have being using the Word 2004 for Mac for over 2 years now. Today, out of the blue any Word document I have tried to print is coming out with only the bottom half of the font printed in some of the lines. If I print the same document over and over the error shows in exactly the same lines over and over. I copy and pasted the document in another word processor and it printed OK. I copied and pasted the Word document into a brand new Word document after restarting all the systems and the same thing happen. What can be wrong? I have printed the same document many times before with no problem.<br>
<br>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Possibly a corrupt document.

Open a Blank document

Then open the document in question turn on the viewing of hidden characters.

Then select all the document except the very last paragraph mark (looks
similar to a revered musical note)

hit command-C (or go to edit menu and choose copy.

No switch to Blank document. Paste the coppied material save as a new
document.

Close document.

Now reopen and see if problem is fixed.

The first thing I'd check - assuming that the printer & ink cartridges are
acting properly otherwise - is the Line Spacing for the problem paragraphs.
If you have it set to Exactly: [whatever] or something other than At Least
or one of the "standards" (single, 1.5, etc.) & it isn't quite sufficient
based on the font or font size the problem may not show up on screen but
some printers will handle it less gracefully than others. What you don't
mention is whether the anomaly is present in Print Preview - that's your
best indicator of what will be rendered on paper because it's generated by
your printer driver.

That would also explain why it doesn't show up in other programs but does in
other Word documents - the other apps aren't observing Word's Line Spacing
settings.
