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

Word 2013 Download Free Windows 7

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:

   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.

Microsoft Word 2013 Free Download For Windows 7 With Product Key

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.

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.'

As part of the Microsoft Office 2013 software suite, Microsoft Word 2013 is an advanced word processor that is highly adept at producing documents of professional quality, and it is intuitive enough to meet the needs of beginners and students as well.

One of the first things that users will realize about Word 2013 is that the Ribbon Interface that Microsoft introduced to their Office suite back in 2007 is still the primary method of interacting with the app controls. Many people didn't particularly like the Ribbon Interface when it was new, but it has been radically improved to include the most common features in the most accessible location. Even the individual menu items have been given updates so they stand out from each other much more easily.

Word 2013 is also the first version of Microsoft Word to include touchscreen compatibility thanks to its Touch Mode. This is only available on computers with touchscreen capabilities, and it makes the buttons larger and easier to select. As the world becomes increasingly focused on buttonless mobile technology, this feature is vital.

When users open the app, they'll be greeted with a welcome screen that is much more useful than in older versions. Recently opened documents will be shown next to blank templates for documents you might wish to create from scratch. Online templates can be searched using the search box if you'd like something you don't see represented in the offline options.

Importing photos is so much easier with Word 2013 thanks to the integration of Facebook, SkyDrive, and Flickr, all of which can be used to instantly upload photos to any Word document you might need to edit. Users can even use an integrated Bing search engine to find pictures that fall within the Creative Commons license. The guides for placing the perfect images have been rewritten for Word 2013 as well.

Users who value PDF support will love Word 2013. These files will now open directly in Word 2013 just as standard Word documents do, and conversion between Word documents and PDFs is a snap. Converted PDFs will even retain formatting from the original Word file.

As a world-class productivity app, Word 2013 allows for smaller apps to run within its system. These include other tools for increasing productivity, including dictionaries and thesauruses. These apps can be helpful, but they can also quickly overpopulate the screen with information and documents.

Tracking changes and collaborating with multiple authors is also easier with Word 2013. With Office 365, all users with permission can viewed and edit the documents at any time, and comments can be synced so collaborators can communicate in real time.

Word 2013 is a powerful iteration of the Microsoft Word app, and it has a number of features that are unique to it. It is by far the best version of the popular productivity app from Microsoft.

Pros

• Improved Performance
• Superb Reading Mode
• Easier Ribbon Interface
• Simple Photo Importing
• Skydrive Document Sync

Cons

• No Support for Windows XP
• Some Well-Hidden Tools
• No Ribbon Interface Alternative
