is it possible that my g4 powerbook is not capable of printing a 600 page ms word document that is purely simply text?

i am able to print other, shorter documents from word without a problem.

here is what i do...

i open the file in microsoft word (MS Word for Mac 2004; v.11.1)

it completely loads

file -> print

rainbow circle starts spinning and the print dialogue box comes up

circle keeps spinning

ms word freezes but can do other stuff in background




thoughts?

Probably your printer can't handle that much info ....

Is Word trying to show you the automatic preview? If so, 600 pages of preview might be a bit too much for it. See if you can turn off the preview feature by default before printing.

Another option is to try to print from a different app. This might or might not work well depending on how complex the document is. TextEdit can read Word files, as can other apps like NeoOffice/J.
