Can you explain further what you did there? Did you simply rename the file extension? That is, what was the file name before you did whatever you did, and what exactly did you do? Or are you talking about the file associations? > I then uninstalled OpenOffice2 and the problem remained. Old > Microsoft documents will print out. However, new ones won't.

If so, I suspect something to do with printer settings, or something to do with print areas. What if you create an entirely new document in Word (I'm not sure what you mean by "new ones")? -- Bob Long P.S. You have written to a mailing list where help is provided by volunteers.
