FOR SOME REASON WHEN YOU TRY TO PRINT YOU FIND OUT AFTERWARD THAT THE PRINT SET UP HAS DEFAULTED TO 8x11 - LETTER SIZE PAPER.

THEN, AFTER YOU GO INTO THE PRINT SET UP AND CHANGE THE SETTINGS, THE FONT BECOMES DISTORTED.
SOMETIMES IT WILL RETURNTO NORMAL BY CHANGING THE VIEW PERCENTAGE TO 100%
THEN BACK TO 75%.

WHAT HAPPENED TODAY WAS THERE WAS A MESSAGE ON THE BOTTOM TOOLBAR
THAT SAID "WORD IS REPAGING (what I was trying to print) AND IT APPEARED TO BE RECOUNTING WHAT WAS IN THE FILE.

THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT RETURNED TO NORMAL SIZE FONT .

BASICALLY, IT SEEMS THAT A WORD 95 SAVED ITEM WILL DISTORT IN THE WORD 2000
PROGRAM AT ANYTIME FOR NO REASON.

(IT IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE AND NEVER CONVENIENT TO WORK ON MANIFESTS AT
100% VIEW. WORKING WITH THEM AT 75% MEANS YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE HOW MUCH ROOM YOU HAVE TO MAKE ADDENDUMS IF NECESSARY

You can't change your defaults directly from the Office. The solution is:
Start Menu -> Settings -> Printers -> right click with mouse on the printer icon -> properties and then you can set settings you need.
