Word depends much more heavily on the printer driver than other apps. Try
selecting a different printer (install a different driver if necessary for
testing purposes) and see if you still experience the same problems. Also,
if you have Norton AntiVirus installed, disable the Office Plug-in. For more
troubleshooting suggestions, see
