190743 2003-11-10 22:39:00 I"ve got a friend running word 2000, when they go to print and click on properties all the text is displayed in characters. Its sounds really strange to me. Does anyone have any idea, short of re-installing, on how to fix it. Hershyll (1175)
190744 2003-11-10 22:54:00 Does it do the same thing in any other programs?

It would be more likely to be the printer driver. Try removing and reinstalling it.

Do you mean print preview comes up with symbols? What happens when its actually printed - is it OK or does it have symbols?

190746 2003-11-11 21:43:00 the pages and print preview print fine, The problem is that the print properties window, (file, print, properties) is displayed in characters, that is the words like features, ink, settings etc, do not read, they are all scrambled. Hershyll (1175)
190747 2003-11-11 22:06:00 You haven't by accident installed a Chinese (or some other foreign language) printer driver? That's the only time I've seen something like you are describing. CYaBro (73)
