To work around this problem, do not change the printer settings through the Print dialog box in Word. Change the settings by using the Properties dialog box in the Printers folder. To do this, follow these steps: Close Microsoft Word.

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
2. Click to select your printer, and then right-click it. Click Properties on the shortcut menu.
3. Click Printing Preferences to see more printer options.
4. After you make your changes, click OK twice to close the dialog boxes.
5. Close Microsoft Word.
6. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
7. Click to select your printer, and then right-click it. Click Properties on the shortcut menu.
8. Click Printing Preferences to see more printer options.

After you make your changes, click OK twice to close the dialog boxes.

Hello, I have personally had many problems with Word 2007, which crashed constantly. These problems have ceased after downloading Microsoft Office Update patches SR1 and SR2. By cons, if you have e downloaded and installed these patches , these might produce news Bugs

LS,

Since a few days I experience the same problems with Word2007: after some time Word just stopped working 'experienced a problem' - 'try to get information' - 'will provide a solution when available' - 'will end programme' (might be different in English - I have the Dutch version). Now it stops right after I load a doc-document or after some time when I try to work on a docx document. I tried to reinstall Office 2007 (Professional) and get a bootstrapping error. I changed the name of 'Data' (in the registry) - no effect. I went back to the date just after I installed Office - no change. And by now I am sorely *&@!! (you fill in the appropriate word...).
I have Windows 7 ultimate on a Dell 9400 with 4 Gb memory and as I mentioned: it worked perfectly the first few days.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Or do I have to go back to 2003 - that one never gave me any problems...
thanks
PAW
