Problem Printing Pages or Selected Text to a File

4.00

MS-DOS

In Word Version 4.00, one of the following two problems can occur when trying to print an interior portion of a document to a file by choosing Selection or Pages in the “range:” field of the Print Options command before executing the Print File command:


 * 1) The resulting file does not contain the printer initialization sequences from Byte 0 of the PCSD table of the printer driver.
 * 2) The file contains a corrupted version of the initialization sequence.

This problem is most apparent when printing to a PostScript printer that produces no printout if the initialization sequence is missing or corrupted.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Word Version 4.00. This problem was corrected in Word Version 5.00.
