Hi p-henderson,<br />
<br />
Heres a couple things to try ...<br />
1. Make sure you have a default printer selected.<br />
2. open the file directly from Word - File &gt;&nbsp;Open<br />
3. Copy the file locally and open in directly from Word.<br />
4. The document may have an attached template that you may not have. If this is the case - check out this link ... <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;830561&spid=2530&sid=36" rel="ugc">http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;830561&spid=2530&sid=36</a><br />
<br />
Hope this helps

Word: connecting to printer

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
