= SYMPTOMS =

When you print a range of pages from a Microsoft Works Word Processor document, the selection may print indefinitely.

= CAUSE =

This problem occurs when the starting page number is set to zero (0).

= RESOLUTION =

To ensure the range of pages prints once only, do the following:


 * 1) Cancel the current print job by pressing COMMAND+. (PERIOD).
 * 2) From the Format menu, choose Set Page #.
 * 3) Type a starting page number greater than 0 (zero).
 * 4) From the File menu, choose Print.
 * 5) Click the From button and type the range of pages.
 * 6) Click OK.

The range of pages now prints correctly.

= MORE INFORMATION =

This printing problem also occurs if the Title Page option is selected and the Set Starting Page Number option is set to 0 (zero).

This problem does not occur in Works version 3.0 or Works version 4.0.
