I have a question about printing in Microsoft Word 2000. This is the 2nd time around for this one, but I figured I'd ask again...When I have a document open, the print icon is shaded to where you cannot use it, and in the "File" menu, the print option does not exist. However, by hitting any of the shortcut keys (Ctrl + P, etc.) it will print. I have tried reinstalling Office 2000 to this W98 SE machine to no avail. There are no weird programs running on this machine that should affect this, only the usual programs like Netscape, IE6, Eudora, and Office 2000. Any ideas?

Also Word will not operate properly if there is a problem with the printer driver. Reinstall the driver and when it asks you if you want to replace the existing driver say yes.
