I'm going to need some more information to help.

Operating System
Version of Word
CPU speed
Amount of RAM

The first obvious suggestion is to restart the Computer. You can also reseat your memory modules. Make sure that your processor is not overheating.

You may have to upgrade your memory or CPU. Also, turn off your screen saver and set it to Blank Screen. If you have 32 MB RAM, make sure your video is set to no higher than 256 colors.

Give me some feedback, and we'll keep working on this.

In addition to above requested info:

What were you trying to print? To what type of printer? Can you print to that printer from other Office apps, like Excel?

Are you a stand-alone PC, or on company network?

More info, please.

If you create a new document can you print? If this is a network printer, can you print bypassing Novell, if this is a network printer, by sharing out a standalone printer.

Try resetting up a new printer icon for the same physical printer.
