Re: Send three and fourpence, we're going to a dance

Sorry. You are completely wrong. The problem, as I clearly stated, was with
Explorer's handling of templates. We were shown exactly what to do by a
reliable tech. It was not Word. It was not the printer. I definitely pointed
this out, but perhaps when you were reading my post you accidentally
translated my words into ...what was that you said.."Chinese-whispered in
transit"? I hope that wasn't a racist remark. I have no use for that type of
humor.

In any case the problem, in your unqualified words, "whatever it is", was
fixed.

Oh, yes, and by the way...Microsoft discusses this very common issue that was
"not Explorer" in its tech pages. You might wish to look it up and educate
yourself so you don't make such an embarassingly incorrect diagnosis in the
future. I'd provide the URL but you didn't earn the privilege. You can look
it up yourself.

Ta Ta,

There are no hidden templates; templates don't toss themselves into the mix;
it's not a common error. The problem (whatever it is) DOES lie with Word or
the printer, and it won't have anything to do with Explorer.

Display the document in Word and have a look at Print Preview: is the
document in columns there? If so, it's been formatted that way. If all
documents are coming out that way, the problem is with normal.dot. Open it,
correct the format, save. That will fix all new documents. For existing
documents, go to Format > Columns and change the number back to 1.

If the document is correct in Print Preview, the problem is with the printer
driver.

My father's business printer suddenly started printing single pages in
column
