Default Word 2007 - Printing mail merge documents

I am having a reoccuring issue. When I go to print a mail merge document
after it has been merged, the file becomes corrupt. All typing scrunch and
go to left of page. This does not happen all the time - random. I have
tried switching printers and PCs with same issue happening randomly sometimes
it will work and sometimes not. Any ideas?

Default Word 2007 - Printing mail merge documents

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
