Using Word 2003 can't print anything with 2 pages or more?
I have just gotten Office 2003.
I created a new document and it is 2 pages. It will only print the first page. When I open old documents that are 1 page they print fine. But when I print document that are 2 pages = both pages print blank. ALso if I cut and paste out of the document nothing prints even thou it is there and shows in print preview as 2 pages. It is almmost like it defaults the font to white ink so the page prints blank but the printer acts like it should be printing. Should I just get rid of 2003 and go back to my 2000 Office? Or is there a patch to fix this out there. |

Sounds like a printer driver problem. If you print to a different
printer, does the problem persist? Maureen wrote: I have just gotten Office 2003. I created a new document and it is 2 pages. It will only print the first page.

It is not the printer. A friend actually created it and emailed to me. We
both have XP and Word 2003. I can't print the document either. So I created a new one and it doesn't work. I can print from the internet with no problem. It is something in 2003 Word.

The suggestion was a printer DRIVER problem, not the printer itself.

IT IS NOT THE PRINTER OR THE PRINT DRIVER IS IT SOMETHING IN WORD 2003.
My printer was just installed, my friend's was installed about 6 months ago so unless word 2003 is corrupting the printer drivers only when you create documents with graphic or more than one page. I can't see any possiblity that it is the print drivers. It is fine in all other programs and even word if you are just printing one page, can print pictures fine. My word came installed and my friend just bought the program and installed about 3 months ago.

Sue, I tried the corruption correction and now it doesn't print any words
just the logo that was inserted. I also to be safe downloaded the service pack update for Office 2003 and that made no improvement and I downloded the printer drivers from the HP website and it said they were already updated but I reinstalled anyway. No offense to Microsoft but I think 2003 has too many problems and I will just ditch it and go back to 2000. I fortuneatley have the trial version my friend is suck with the version he bought. I emailed the document to myself at work where I have Office 2000 and the document prints fine and views fine. So I am more convinced that the 2003 version of Office is just not a good product. Thanks for your help. "Momosplace" wrote: IT IS NOT THE PRINTER OR THE PRINT DRIVER IS IT SOMETHING IN WORD 2003.

Can you see the entire document in Print Preview? In Print Layout view? If
you can see it in Print Layout view but not in Print Preview, make sure you have "Drawing objects" checked on the Print tab of Tools | Options. If you can't see more than one page in Print Layout view, then go to Format | Columns and select the button for One (even if it is already selected), then OK out. -- Suzanne S.

Yes I can see the entire document in Print Preview and Print Layout. Drawing
objects is checked and column was set for one. If it wasn't doing it on 2 seperate computers I would think I just need to reinstall but my computer is brand new and I can't believe the trial works this badly and they want me to buy it. It has to be a simple patch or something. I've never had this much trouble with a microsoft product. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Can you see the entire document in Print Preview?

If this is a trial version, perhaps there is a limitation on how much you
can print with that version? -- Suzanne S.

I don't think it is because I have a trail version - my friend bought the
student version and he can't print it either. The only other thought I have is Norton 2005 which I have and don't know if that is what my friend is using has some problems with the microsoft office enabling - so maybe Norton is messing with the Office codes. i know someone else thought it was the print driver but 2 different computers and 2 different printers. Although have not tried to print multipage documents out of any other Office software, but can print fine out of 2 picture programs, adobe, internet, email, palm software. "Suzanne S.
