I accidently preseed 30 instead of 3 copies when i was pinting. Does anyone
know how to stop the print process?

In your "Quick Launch Toolbar" (I think it's called that) you should see a
Printer Icon after you've selected PRINT. This indicates that printing is in
progress to the selected printer. Double click the icon and the selected
printer dialog will pop up. From the Printer menu, select "Purge Print
Documents" . (I use Win98se, so if you're using XP the printer icon location
maybe different and the pop up dialog box maybe different also.) This will
stop the current printing process.

This won't help you this time, but here are the options:

1. When you start printing in Word, a printer icon appears in the status bar
as long as the document is being sent to the printer (or the spooler). If
you double-click on that, you can stop the print process, but unless the
document is very long and complex or you have background printing disabled,
it's very unlikely that you can catch it fast enough.

2. Another possibility is the printer icon in the Systray (usually the right
end of your Windows Taskbar). Double-clicking on that opens the Printers
folder, where you can select the document and delete it, which stops the
process. This is usually not successful, either.

3. Your printer may have an online/offline button that you can press, but if
the document has already been spooled to the printer, this won't help; the
time it takes to stop the process is usually longer than it takes to print
the pages you don't want to print.

4. Some printers have a Cancel Job button. This is a little more efficient
but still sometimes a lost cause.

5. If you have a printer with an open paper tray (either gravity feed or
pickup feed), the quickest way to stop the print process is to remove the
paper (don't try this with a printer that has a pull-out paper drawer, as
you'll cause a horrible paper jam). After removing the paper, take the
printer offline. Neither of these actions will actually stop the print
process, but they will interrupt it long enough for you to do something
else. Usually this requires opening the Printers folder and deleting the
document, then turning the printer off and back on (but not immediately:
leave it off long enough for its memory to clear).
