--- The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Publisher for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a ---

SYMPTOMS

=
When printing a Microsoft Publisher document, you may receive one of the following error messages if your document contains corrupt WordArt objects:

Mspub Caused a General Protection Fault in module GDI.exe at  0013:1C74

-or-

You may be out of hard drive space or there is a problem with your registration.

The latter message continues to display no matter what you select.

RESOLUTION

=
You may also delete the existing Word Art frames and re-create them.

NOte: If you are not using any special text effects, you can use text frames instead of WordArt frames. This will make the file a lot smaller, and it will run faster, too.

NOTE: When you troubleshoot a GP fault in GDI.EXE, make sure you follow the normal troubleshooting procedures before assuming it is a WordArt problem.
