You could try turning off background printing in W95. That sorted a
similar problem a colleague had printing a large doc with a lot of
graphics.

Subject: Help! Word 7 and Printing


Mornin' all!

I've searched the archives... I've searched the Microsoft site... I've
searched Woody Leonhard's site...
Now I'm looking over my shoulder at a deadline and I still don't have
the
answer. I hope someone here can help in a hurry.

I'm trying to print a Word 7 document to either an HP 4/4M printer or to
a
print file. The document is filled with screen shots all linked to the
document. Everything goes well until I get to page 62 (of a total of 107
pages). No matter how I try to print page 62 (as part of the whole
document
or by itself), when Word gets there it simply shuts down. No error
message,
no nothing.

Page 62 has 2 graphics, both bmp's of buttons in a Windows application.
I've tried taking one or both out. Once I was able to print the page on
a
different printer, but that printer distorts some of the other fonts in
the
document. Once, when I took one picture out, I was able to print the
page
on the 4/4M, but no more. Now, when I've deleted one picture and tried
to
print on the 4/4M, I get a dozen pages of mostly blank paper with
periodic
hieroglyphics.

Can anybody point me to a solution?

Many thanks,
