SYMPTOMS
When you print to a file, Word for Windows may truncate the filename of the
file you create and place it in the wrong location. When Word does this, it
also places a second file in the correct location, with the correct
filename, but the size of this file is 0 (zero) bytes. This happens whether
you print to a file by selecting the Print To File option in the File Print
dialog box or by selecting FILE: as the output port under Printers in
Windows Control Panel.
Word creates a file named OUTP in the EQUATION subdirectory, and Word
creates a file named OUTPUT1.PRN in the LONGNAME subdirectory (the correct
location), but OUTPUT1.PRN has a file size of 0 bytes.
CAUSEWord truncates the name of your print file and places it in the wrong directory if either of the following conditions exist:
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0, 6.0a and 6.0c for Windows. This problem was corrected in Word version 7.0 for Windows 95. WORKAROUND
Method 1: Place the print file no deeper than two levels deep in the
directory structure. Make sure neither the directory nor the
subdirectory name has more than 8 characters.
