    Can't print a WORD document after an externa update

    Dear members,

    Since last week I am not able to print a WORD document anymore.

    I never had problems with printing the document earlier.

    Original it is a WORD 2003 document (and I know there is no MS support on this version).

    I used save as to save the file as an WORD (2013) document.

    But then also I am not able to print.

    It allowes me to select the printer and give the task to print.

    After that I get the failure WORD is not responding.

    Unfortually it is not just 1 file.

    P.s. excel files are printed fine, I only have problems with the WORD files.

    What other option can I try to solve this annoying problem?

    Added:

    I use WORD 2013 professional.

    I tried printing without opening the file; in that case it will print the document (each one).

    I tried after that opening the file and print the document and I get the failure WORD is not responding.

    After that I tried 4 word documents on a Office 2010 (computer).

    There I was able to open and print 3 of the documents / the 4th does open, but does NOT print.

    Have you tried repairing the Office installation (via Start > Windows Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features > Microsoft Office (version) > Change)?

    With your 4th document, have you checked whether the content is formatted as hidden text?
