Hi ?B?TmljayBEZW1ldHJpb3U=?=,

WARD PRINTING PROBLEM:
Trying to print a document the hourglass hangs around for an abnormally
long
time and without the printer being activated.

I think you'll have the best chance for getting help on this problem if you
ask the experts in the topic-specific newsgroup:

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....printingfonts

Also, when trying to print a document, a message at the bottom of the Word
screen shows €œWard is preparing to background print the Document€�

You might try turning this option off in Tools/Options/Print so that you can
work until the problem is resolved.
