Default 3 Rows of Text Strings Compress Making Resume Unintelligible

Hi Everyone,

I have a problem where 3 rows of text strings would compress and crunch together to where it becomes unintelligible. It does this totally randomly, does anyone know why MS Word does this? I am currently using Microsoft 365 cause I just upgraded last month. But I was also using WPS and it happened in WPS as well. But I redownloaded it and ONLY opened it in MS Word and it still turns out the same way. I suspect that there might be tables built into the original template that makes it behave this way. I don't necessarily need a solution right away, because I literally just redo and transcribe my resume each time if it happens into the original template, although I prefer not to do that, but could it be a corrupted template? Any help or guidance towards a thought process would already be appreciated. Thanks.

PS: Attached is how it looks on "Bad Resume.PNG". The other one shows that it might be because it is a table that causes this weird issue.

It may be attributable to a historical bug that somehow seems to have Word misreading temporary files related to the printer currently in use. That being the case you can usually 'unscramble' the display from File=>Print and switch to the printer properties or to another printer then your normal one, or close Word and delete all files found on Start=>Search and looking for ~$*.*;*.tmp as the name string then restarting Word."
