= SUMMARY =

In Microsoft Word versions 1.0, 2.0 3.0 4.0 and 5.0 there are at least six reasons why the message:

0 lines and 0 words counted

appears after carrying out a Print File, Print Merge, Print Printer, or Print Repaginate command:

  The Pages option is selected in the Print Options “range:” field, and a page is specified that does not exist in the document.   You are performing a print merge and the data document is completely empty or the only information contained in the data document is the header line.   You are printing to a laser printer using a landscape printer driver and the page height and width are set for portrait orientation.   An entire document has accidentally been formatted as a single running head. You can determine if this is the case by checking if there is a row of carets (^) running vertically along the left side of your screen. They may or may not be followed by the letter “t” or “b”. To format this text as nonrunning-head text, do the following:   Select the entire document by pressing SHIFT+F10 (which will highlight the entire document).   Choose the Format Running-head command.   Set “position:” to Top, and the “odd pages:”, “even pages:”, and “first page:” fields to No.   If the carets are still present, choose the Format Running-head command and set “position:” to Bottom, with “odd pages:”, “even pages:”, and “first page:” all set to No. </li></ol>

Note: After carrying out these commands, you will have no running heads or footers in your document. If you want to include these, select the portion of text that you want to format as a running head and apply the Format Running-head command to correctly format your running head. </li>  There is insufficient memory to print the entire range specified. Reducing the range to be printed will correct this problem. </li>  The “at:” field in Format Division Page-numbers is set to a number greater than the number set in the “page numbers:” field of Print Options. </li></ol>
