MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / September 2006Large Document - Printing
I have a large document (new hire package) which contains tables, graphics, forms etc. When I try to print even one page of the document, my printer drops off line. I understand that my printer buffer may not be able to handle the entire however, not even on page? I also have a large document (benefits package) which does not have this problem. Perhaps is there something in the new hire package document itself which causes the printer to drop off line?  Signaturecgregory If other documents will print, then it sounds like you have a document corruption. Unless your printer is seriously old, the driver and buffer should be designed to handle long documents. Try -- 1. Converting to PDF and printing that. 2. SaveAs under a new name. 3. Select the first dozen or so pages, copy to a new document, and see if that will print. > I have a large document (new hire package) which contains tables, > graphics, forms etc. When I try to print even one page of the [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > this problem.

Like Jezebel says, the length of the doc shouldn't make a difference - especially if other long docs print with no problem. Another thought, though, is if the problem doc contains Section Breaks that involve layout changes - page orientation in particular. Make sure that the printer driver is up-to-date, & if the doc isn't corrupt you may need to print it one Section at a time. You might also try selecting all but the *last* paragraph marker (Ctrl+A, Shift+LeftArrow to select), copy, then paste into a new blank doc & see if that will print.

One dozen for once SignatureSpeedle |
