{| The information in this article applies to:
 * width="100%"|
 * Microsoft Word for Macintosh, version 4.0

SUMMARY
Sometimes Word for the Macintosh may print the second or third and succeeding lines of a paragraph in an approximately 1-inch-wide column down the left side of the page. This text may overlap paragraphs below it. This happens if all the following are true:


 * 1) You are using Word version 4.0 for the Macintosh.
 * 2) You are running with System 6.0.7. or later.
 * 3) Your document is formatted with TrueType fonts.
 * 4) You are printing on a StyleWriter or Personal LaserWriter LS.
 * 5) Your document is formatted for a font size for which no bitmap font is available.
 * 6) 32-bit addressing is turned on.
 * 7) Background Printing is turned off.

Workarounds
  Turn on Background Printing. -or-   Turn off 32-bit addressing. -or-   Upgrade to a version of Word later than 5.0. -or-  Do not use TrueType fonts. If you use this workaround, you must use Adobe Type Manager (ATM) to achieve the same high-quality output you obtain using TrueType fonts.

MORE INFORMATION
This problem occurs because the &quot;~MS Word TrueType_ Printer Init&quot; does not load if 32-bit addressing is turned on. The same problem occurs if you remove the init from your System 6 or 7 System Folder, regardless of whether 32-bit addressing is turned on or off.
