HOWTO: Fix

Compressed Text

This problem can occur with documents that contain protected form fields. On printing the document the text within the form overlap on top of each other and create a single hieroglyphic character per line.

This issue happens both on the screen and in printed form.

To rectify this problem:

1: Open a blank Microsoft Word document

2: Go to--> Tools --> Options --> Print (Tab) >

3: Uncheck "Background printing" --> Click OK

4: Exit out of Microsoft Word

5: The faulty document when opened should now display and print correctly

HOWTO: Alter

CTRL+F Behaviour

From Office 2016 onward, Microsoft has introduced a search pane when the keyboard combination of CTRL+F is used, as shown below:

New Office Find.png

This replaces the old style window, as shown below:

To revert to the older style find windows, click on File in the ribbon > Options, which will open the Word Options window, click on Customize Ribbon, then click on Customize button next to Keyboard shortcuts.

In the Categories column of the new window, locate and click on Home Tab, then in Commands column locate and click on EditFind.

Click in the box under Press new shortcut key and then press CTRL+F, this new configuration will then show in the Current keys box to the left.

Press close, and navigate back to the main screen. The CTRL+F keyboard combination will have reverted back to the earlier style.

Styles Default (2010 & possibly 2007)

NOTE: Before you go looking to set the default style under the 'Styles' section stop, let me repeat that stop, do not waste your time...

If Microsoft's new 'Normal' style (or what the rest of the world calls 'double line spacing') is not to your liking and you want to change it here is how.

  • Go to options for 'Paragraph' not 'Styles', you know because this is a Microsoft product.
  • Under the 'Indents and Spacing' section alter the following:
Before: 0 pt
After: 0pt
Line spacing: Single
  • Then click the 'Set As Default' button
  • If you want to apply this to every new document check the 'All documents based on the Normal.dotm template?' radio box.
  • Click the 'OK' button.
