Mail Merge formatting problems in Word 2000

I having weird problems with a macro that I wrote that automates the creation
of backup tape labels. The original document has a two line document attached
to it. The macro creates a table, then merges it into a new document, and
reattaches the original document back to the mail merge source document
because you can't update a file that's attached to a document.  Then I print
the document.   I don't know if I was very clear there . . .

Now here's the weird part . . .

Characters are being printed and displayed superimposed upon one another.  I
started having this problem with Word 2000, Word 97 worked fine.  When I
close and reopen the file it looks "normal" again.  Has anyone else ever come
across anything like this ? ? ? ? ?

Hi =?Utf-8?B?Q2Fyb2w=?=,

I've seen similar, yes, with older documents brought forward across many
versions of Word. Never see the problem on-screen, only in the print-out.

To get rid of it, I've had to set up a new document, copy/paste the text with NO
formatting, then set up the merge again.
