= SUMMARY =

When you print more than one copy of a document on the Apple LaserWriter, Microsoft Word version 3.00 processes each copy separately, which delays printing time.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 3.00. This problem was corrected in Word version 3.01 when printing to the Apple LaserWriter only. However, this problem can still occur on the LaserWriter IISC when using Word 3.00, 3.01, or 3.02.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word versions 3.00, 3.01, and 3.02. This problem was corrected in Word version 4.00.

= MORE INFORMATION =

To print multiple copies from Word versions 3.00, 3.01, or 3.02 on the LaserWriter without processing each one individually, do the following:


 * 1) Press the SHIFT key and hold it while choosing Print from the File menu.
 * 2) Enter the number of copies desired in the LaserWriter print dialog box.
 * 3) Click OK (no printing will occur).
 * 4) From the File menu, choose Print as you normally would (without the SHIFT key).
 * 5) Leave the number of copies at one (1) and click OK.

Note: If you press SHIFT while you choose Print (SHIFT+Print), a print file remains until you quit Word or alter the file with another SHIFT+Print.

If you have Word 4.00, the SHIFT+Print method is not necessary because the Print and Page Setup dialog boxes have been standardized in this version.
