I use Windows98 with Word and have never had problems. In the last two weeks whenever I print it is always followed by a "report" on that print on a new sheet. It flashes up briefly as "print summary information". How can I stop this? it is annoying and is using many sheets of pristine paper. Any advice will be truly welcome

If the report lists Filename, Directory, Template, Title, Subject, Author, Keywords, Comments, etc, the fault lies within Word. If the report is more technical in its nature it probably lies with the print driver.

For the former problem, try this:
Go to Tools > Options > Print
There should NOT be a tick next to 'Include Properties with Print'. If there is, click to remove it. Then click OK.

If you seem to have the former problem but don't see that unwanted tick, click to put one in. Click OK. Then repeat to remove it. (Don't ask me why that sometimes works. I just know that it does!).

If the report was more technical (i.e. it seemed to be telling you about the printer, rather than the document), the simplest thing to do would be to find the disk which came with the printer and re-install the software.

Many thanks, I think reloading Office has done it.
