MSWORD 2004 Printing Problems on MAC OS X
I recently installed Office 2004 on my various Macintoshes running Mac
OSX (10.4.6). I have a G4, an iBook and a MacBook Pro. In every case, when I try to print either parts of a document or multiple copies, MS Word 2004 will only print the whole document. This is extremely annoying as my husband is writing and assembling a book and we are wasting time and paper to beat the band. It appears that the instructions entered in the MS Word Print dialogue box are ignored by the operating system (which is Unix). I tested several other applications to make sure the MAC OS systems was not at fault. In all cases, the applications actually behaved perfectly -- printing either parts or mutiple copies as requested. Those tests included Excel and Powerpoint. So I have to conclude that MS Word 2004 has a printing glitch. The two printers that I used for testing were a HP LaserJet 2100TN and an Epson 740. In both cases the results were the same so I ruled out Printer problems. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, have you found a solution. I tried to contact Mocrosoft but have not gotten any result. I have found a work around for now which is to create a PDF file and use Mac Preview for printing. That is okay for the short term but will not do when we get to compiling the book as a whole. Would be grateful for any assistance. Ruftara |

MSWORD 2004 Printing Problems on MAC OS X
Hi Joel,
thank you for your comments.When I ask for print preview, MSWord invokes Mac Preview and in that mode I can select what I like and it will print correctly. If I try to print directly from the Microsoft dialogue box then the dialogue commands are simply ignored and all I get is a single copy of the document, regardless of which parameters I have fed into the dialogue box. I can live with this two step process but my husband who is being dragged away from his old iMac and an antiquated version of MSWord is not pleased. In his case the less typing, the better. Have you actually tried to print a document directly from Word? I would just like toknow if you can get your version of Word to bebehave correctly when using the print dialogue directly. Thanks Ruftara |
