PC restarting when printing from MS Word; Visio picture inserted.
Hi,
I have a user who is trying to print a MS Word document of about 19 pages. With one of the pages he has inserted a Visio picture. When he tries to print it restarts his PC & it only prints the first few pages. Other word docs print ok. He's copied & pasted the document into a new one & tried renaming it too without any success. I'm about to get him to try to save it as a PDF document before printing it. Does anyone out there have any other suggestions? Thanks, PS |

Thanks, PS Disregard the above; the user called me back even after I'd suggested to him to print to another printer to check & he tested it out after I'd spoken with him. The printer he was printing to was a HP 4200 Laserjet. |

Hi Marcus
There seem to be problems pasting Visio diagrams into Word documents, and I don't really know the full details. My observations are that, almost no matter what you do, you end up with huge file sizes for the Word documents. Try pasting as a picture. That is, in Visio, do Edit Copy. In Word, do Edit Paste Special and paste as a picture. It won't then be editable from within Word, but it might reduce file size and get around the Visio problem. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.

"Huge" doesn't even begin to describe it. I worked on a document last year
that would just cause Word to hang up several times a day. I don't remember what I finally did to get those Visio files into Word but I remember I had a heckuva time. To make matters worse, they were about 17" x 22" and needed to fit on 8½" x 11", less margins, etc. ARGH! -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Shauna Kelly" wrote in message ...

Your point about the "working size" is well-made. Rule 1 for me when
creating Visio diagrams, Excel charts, Excel workbooks and anything else that is going to have to get printed is to start off working at 100% of final size. To do otherwise, to just assume that you can shrink it down to something legible when you're finished, is to delude yourself. Shauna Shauna Kelly.
