Default Corruption

Office 2003 on WindowsXP SP2. P$ processor and 1Gb RAM
I've got a document with about 4 tables. All text displayed in Arial 12
suddenly compressed into a solid black blob at the start of each line. I can
highlight this and change either the size or the font and the text displays
correctly, but when I return it to Arial 12 it compresses again.
Anyone got ideas as to what's causing this?
TIA
Iain

If you use Table/Convert Table to Text, then reverse it using Table/Convert
Text to Table... Does the problem go away?

I'll have a look at this when I get back to the office on Monday then get
back to you. In the meantime I've changed the font to get round the problem.
