Office 2000 sr-1

Hi,
Got this template that has loads of frames. Each time I go to print, the
doc looks like is has gone to print. However when I check printer queue, job
in not present. I have tried sending to different printers, other
troubleshooting etc
Weird: when I disable background printing, the doc is spooled and then prints?
Is this a bug in word, or is this doc messed up?
