The final possibility is that one of the settings stored by Word in the Registry has been messed up. In such a case, you should visit the Web site for the printer manufacturer and download their latest printer driver. If it does go away, then you know your original printer driver is at fault. You can see if this is the case by switching to a different printer before using Print Preview, or by installing a different printer driver and seeing if the problem persists. If the printer driver is misbehaving, then Word may lock up. When you choose to display the Print Preview form of a document, Word works closely with the printer driver for the printer you are using. It is possible that there is a problem with the printer driver you have installed on your system. If it doesn't, then you will need to delete the problem template and create a new one. If so, then attach a different template and see if the problem persists. Check to see if the problem documents all have the same template attached. If the behavior occurs with a group of documents, but not with all documents, it could be due to a corrupted template.


There are four possible culprits for this behavior: the document, the template, the printer driver, or the Word settings. This, of course, is not the way that Word is supposed to work.

Does anyone else have this problem or know of a solution ?

I have a sneaking suspicion that something with the fonts is screwing with Office. I noticed that Word freezes up right when it says it is "Optimizing font menu performance." In the past two weeks, Microsoft Office products have all been crashing right when I try to open them. For this I use Adobe Illustrator, and in the process I've downloaded several fonts which I keep in Font Book. I also have been doing some logo design to add another service to my repertoire. Otherwise I would happily use Google docs or Pages. For the writing portion of my job, I really need Word as it is what ALL of my clients use and also it allows them to track changes (and me to accept or decline them). I work as a freelance advertising copywriter and logo designer.
