So the last couple of days I've been having problems printing in Word. I usually print word documents at my office at the university so save on ink. The last couple of times I couldn't so I thought it might have been some weird issue from when I installed my bigger hard drive but I remember being able to print after that. I can also print from everything else internet, google, pages, etc. But just not word.

This couldn't been happening at a worst time, as school starts tomorrow and I have to print out labs as we're creating a new lab assignments for our department. I've e-mailed the files to others to print out from their computer and even my girlfriend can print them. We set her printer up to be shared and I tried. to see maybe if it was just a printer problem on my end and it is not.

I really don't want to upgrade to the new 2008 office due to the fact that VBS is not supported and I write grants and needed the support of EndNotes. Please advise on steps I can take.

I've tryed updates nothing, reinstalling and nothing. I also tried installing from the CD and it quits on intall but I can copy the folder into my application folder which is what I did and nothing. I even deleted my office with appzapper to get files associated with it and nothing.

I do not know what to do and any suggestion would be helpful.

Microsoft is all I have to say.

Can you print PDFs at all or does printing just fail completely? If so, a temporary workaround would be to print to PDF everything and print from Preview.

I had a problem like this, but I couldn't print from any office product. Ended up using iWork. Couldn't be happier

No I spent 4 hours with Microsoft today and I'm backing up and then I'm going to do an archeive and install and see if that work. Office 2008 works but I can't use EndNote. If this doesn't work I might end up just using 2008 or Pages.
