Even Word 2003 seems to still suffer when NORMAL.DOT is corrupt. It's an endearing or enduring problem. Find and delete that file, then start Word (it creates a new one) and see if that helps.
If not, then it's time to reveal if you've updated video and printer drivers (without Microsoft's help.)

Whenever I go to type a document, the document on the screen says the point size is 12, but I can't read it. The text is buched up in a corner. The ruler still says 1 through 7 on the top of the page. I can go to print preview to read what I wrote.
Windows XP, word 2003
Any help would be appreciated
