[Hidden-tech] Microsoft Word v.97 printing issues in XP Pro

[Don Lesser]

Haven't heard of the problem, but Office 97? Gary, it's OK to upgrade. It's 
been 15 years...

Try http://support.microsoft.com/kb/254233/EN-US for some possibilities. 
Definitely a good idea to rename NORMAL and try printing. Also, printer 
driver? New printer? No upgrades to Office 97, possibly to XP as well. 97 
did have some interesting bugs, as I recall, that 2000 fixed. Can you print 
a paragraph OK? I assume you've tried different documents, different 
lengths, but if not, see if there is a threshold. If you are running Open 
Office and MS Office, there may be a conflict with an Open Office 
update--don't know much about that app so I don't have any immediate 
suggestions there.
