Summary

This article suggests ways in which you can diagnose and resolve issues when you cannot print a Microsoft Word document.

More Information

Examples of print failure are as follows:

• You receive error messages and other messages when you try to print a file.
• The printer does not respond.
• Files print as meaningless symbols.
  This article does not discuss printer output issues, such as envelope-positioning problems, missing graphics, and inaccurate page numbers.

Note

Before you continue, see the 'References' section for known issues in Word that might match your printer's behavior. If you do not find a match for your error message or your printer's behavior, follow the steps in this article to troubleshoot your printing problem.

To resolve a print failure in Word, you must determine its cause. Causes typically fit into one of the following categories:

• Damaged documents or damaged content in documents
• The Word program itself
• The printer driver
• The Windows operating system
• Connectivity or hardware

Do not make assumptions about what is causing your printing problem. Instead, rely on systematic troubleshooting to reveal the cause.

Use the following tests to help determine the cause of your printing failure.

Step 1: Test printing in other documents

Print Preview On Mac Word

Damaged documents or documents that contain damaged graphics or damaged fonts can cause print errors in Word. Before you reinstall drivers or software, test the Word program's ability to print. To do this, follow these steps.

Word 2013, Word 2010, and Word 2007

1. Open a new blank document in Word.

2. On the first line of the document, type the following text:

   =rand(10)

3. Press Enter. This inserts 10 paragraphs of sample text.

4. Try to print the document.

5. If the document prints successfully, change to a different font, or insert clip art, a table, or a drawing object.

   To change the font, follow these steps:

   1. Use your pointing device to select your sample text.
   2. Click Home.
   3. In the Font list, click to select a different font.

   To insert clip art, follow these steps:

   1. Click the Insert tab, and then click Clip Art. (In Word 2013, click the Insert tab, and then click Online Pictures.)
   2. On the Clip Art task pane, leave the Search text box blank, and then click Go. (In Word 2013, type a term in the Office.com Clip Art search box, and then click Search.)
   3. Right-click one of the pictures, and then click Insert.
   4. Close the Clip Art task pane.

   To insert a table, follow these steps:

   1. Click Insert, click Table, and then click Insert Table.
   2. Type the number of columns and rows that you want, and then click OK.

   To insert a drawing object, follow these steps:

   When the download of the program finishes, open it and follow the instructions on the screen to install Microsoft office 365 applications on your PC. After all the office programs finish installing, you can open the office software by clicking on Start on your PC. That is how to download Microsoft Access for Mac using a free trial on your PC.

   1. Click Insert, and then click Shapes.
   2. Double-click one of the shapes.

6. Test the print function again.

Word 2003

1. Open a new blank document in Word.

2. On the first line of the document, type the following text:=rand(10)

3. Press Enter. This inserts 10 paragraphs of sample text.

4. Try to print the document.

5. If the document prints successfully, change to a different font, or insert clip art, a table, or a drawing object.

   To change the font, follow these steps:

   1. Use your pointing device to select your sample text.
   2. On the Format menu, click Font.
   3. In the Font list, click to select a different font, and then click OK.

   To insert clip art, follow these steps:

   1. On the Insert menu, point to Picture, and then click Clip Art.
   2. On the Insert Clip Art task pane, leave the Search text box blank, and then click Search.
   3. Right-click one of the pictures, and then click Insert.
   4. Close the Insert Clip Art task pane.

   To insert a table, follow these steps:

   1. On the Table menu, point to Insert, and then click Table.
   2. Click OK.

   To insert a drawing object, follow these steps:

   1. On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click Drawing.
   2. On the Drawing toolbar, select one of the drawing shapes.
   3. Click anywhere in the document, drag the mouse pointer, and then release the button.

6. Test the print function again.

The success or failure of these tests shows whether Word can print generally. These tests may also give you clues about certain fonts or graphics that Word cannot print.

If you do not receive errors in the test document but still cannot print your original document, your original document may be damaged. This may be true even if you can print the same document on another computer, because there are many situations in which the symptoms of file damage appear on some computers and not on other computers.

Again, rely on systematic troubleshooting instead of on assumptions about what is causing the problem. Therefore, if you cannot print a particular document but can print other documents in Word, you may have a damaged document. Troubleshoot the problem accordingly. For more information about how to troubleshoot damaged Word documents, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

826864 How to troubleshoot damaged Word documents

If Word cannot print at all, or if Word cannot print a certain font or a certain kind of graphic, go to 'Step 2: Test Printing in Other Programs.'

Step 2: Test printing in other programs

The scope of the printing problem may reveal its cause. For example, some printing problems affect only Word, whereas other printing problems affect several of or all Windows-based programs.

The following tests can help determine whether this problem involves programs other than Word.

Test in WordPad

1. Click Start, point to Programs (in Windows XP, point to All Programs), point to Accessories, and then clickWordPad. (In Windows 8, press the Windows key to go to the Start Screen, type WordPad, and then click the icon.)
2. In the blank WordPad document, type This is a test.
3. On the **File **menu, click Print.
4. Click OK or Print to print the file.

If you found in Step 1: Test printing in other documents' that the print problem occurs only with certain fonts or certain graphics images, try to reproduce this problem in WordPad. To do this, apply the same font, or insert the same kind of graphics image. (To select a different font in WordPad, use the same method that you use in Word.)

To insert a graphics image in WordPad, follow these steps:

1. On the Insert menu, click Object.

   Note In Windows 8 and Windows 7, click Insert Object on the Home tab.

2. Follow one or both of the following steps:

   • To create a new graphics image, click Create New, and then select one of the object types from the list. For example, click Paintbrush Picture to create a test bitmap in the Microsoft Paint program.
   • To insert a graphics image from a file, click Create from File, and then click Browse to select the file.

After you finish your testing in WordPad, you can test the print functions in your web browser or your other Office programs. You can also try to print a test page for your printer. To print a text page, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.

   Notes

   • In Windows XP, click Start, and then click Printers and Faxes.
   • In Windows Vista, click Start, and then click Printers.
   • In Windows 7, click Start, and then click Devices and Printers.
   • In Windows 8, press the Windows key to go to the Start Screen, type Printers, click Settings, and then click Devices and Printers.

2. Right-click the icon for your printer, and then click Properties.

3. On the General tab, click Print Test Page.

If you cannot print a test page, or if you cannot print in several or all Windows-based programs, you have a printer driver problem, a Windows problem, a hardware problem, or a connectivity problem.

If the problem is limited to a particular font, a damaged font file may be the cause. For more information about how to test and reinstall fonts, click the following article numbers to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

314960 How to install or remove a font in Windows

If you can print without problems in all programs except Word, go to 'Step 3: Test printing with different printer drivers.'

You may be able to use Windows printing help and troubleshooters to resolve the printing problem.

• In Windows 8 and Windows 7, you can run the printing troubleshooting wizard by clicking Start, typing printing, and then selecting Find and fix printing problems.
• In Windows Vista or Windows XP, click Start, select Help and Support, and search on printingor printing troubleshoot.
  

Step 3: Test printing with different printer drivers

If Word is the only program on your computer that cannot print, you may think that Word is the cause of the problem. Be aware that Word is a very printer-intensive program. Therefore, a minor problem with the printer driver affects Word before it affects other programs.

To determine whether the printer driver is the cause of the problem, you can test different drivers. If the Word printing problem occurs only when you print documents that use a certain font or a certain kind of graphics image, try to print to another printer.

If no other printer is available, contact the manufacturer to determine whether there is an updated version of the driver or a different driver that works with your printer model. See the 'References' section for information about how to contact a third-party vendor.

If the Word printing problem occurs even when you print documents that are made up only of text, you can use a generic, text-only printer driver to test printing from Word. To do this, follow these steps for your version of Windows.

Note On some versions of Windows, these steps may require access to the Windows installation CD-ROM or access to a network drive that contains the Windows installation files.

Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows Vista

1. Take one of the following actions, as appropriate for your situation:

   • For Windows Vista: Click Start, and then click Printers.
   • For Windows 7: Click Start, and then click Devices and Printers.

2. Click Add a printer.

3. Click Add a local printer on the first screen of the Add Printer Wizard.

13. Click OK.

If you receive an error message in Word when you print files that contain only text but do not receive the error message when you print with the generic, text-only printer driver, your printer driver may be damaged. In this case, contact the manufacturer for help in removing the printer driver and installing an updated version. See the 'References' section for information about how to contact a third-party vendor.

If the printing problem occurs with a different printer driver, go to 'Step 4: Test the Word program files and settings.'
