Word .X issue - Quites when trying to print

Running Office .X, Mac OS 10.3.7 on an iMac G4



Document quits when trying to print, create PDF, etc.



Could be a bad document as I open it on another Mac running Office 2004 and I can print, create PDFs with no trouble.



Could it be the way the document is formatted? It was created on a Windows PC.





I am at a loss because I have updated the Office suite, repaired permissions, dleted all preferences..etc.

    Broken, corrupted and/or incompatible (Mac/Windows) fonts

    can always be the culprit of this kind of troubles.



    Most printing troubles within MS apps

    can be traced back as font issues.

    My experience



    Word 2004 at least got a cunning option to perform

    a compatibility test. Run this test, and look

    what kind of issues the test comes up. Perhaps your document

    contains fonts, which are not installed in your system.



    Substitute all fonts. (Select all text and choose another font, done)



    Btw, are you able to print out any other

    document by Word?

    Or, can you print out generally and only this

    particular document gives yoou a headache?



    Perhaps this helps
