SYMPTOMS
When print from Word for Windows NT, print performance is extremely sluggish or Word for Windows NT becomes unresponsive.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when you print from Word for Windows NT, you have the print in background option selected, and Project version 4.0 is running.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, turn off background printing in Word for Windows NT.

NOTE: If Word for Windows NT stops responding (hangs), you may be able to work around the problem by pressing ALT+TAB to get to the Project 4.0 window and choosing one of the menu items.

This problem is caused by Project 4.0 constantly polling for I/O. For additional information, please see the following article(s) in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
