Word 2007 hangs when using VPN
We use Cisco VPN to connect to our company network. When I'm online thru VPN
and start Word 2007, Word hangs due to some strange printer issue. If my default printer is network printer, Word hangs. If I change my default printer to e.g. Cute PDF writer, then Word starts ok. Any ideas what is causing this? Other Office programs work fine. |

Word depends heavily on the printer driver to calculate the page layout and display. I suspect the delay involved in the traffic over the VPN is causing Word to think it isn't connected to the driver. Even without a VPN in the middle, it's advisable to install the printer driver locally for a network printer, rather than pointing to a driver on the print server. Once the driver is on your computer, there should be no more startup problems. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Hello,https://veepn.com/vpn-apps/vpn-for-ios// through this link you will know about the Word hangs when using VPN to connect to the network. The workaround is to change the settings in Word so that you can use it while connected to the VPN.
1. Click Tools and then click Word Options. 2. Click Connections in the left pane, and then select Use a proxy server for my Internet connection. 3. In Local area connection, click More Settings, and then select Use a proxy server for remote connectivity if you are going to access a remote network. 4. After your changes are completed, close Word. |
