WD97: "Print to File" Option Set After Printing from Binder

• Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

If you print a binder that contains two or more files (at least one of them is a Word document), and then print from a separate session of Word, the Print to file option is turned on automatically.

NOTE This problem occurs when the binder is left open after printing and then you start Word.

CAUSE

The Print binder as a single job option is selected (default) in Microsoft Binder. With this option selected, Binder prints to a file before sending the file to the printer. Thus, the Print to file option remains selected when you start Word.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use one of the following methods appropriate for your situation:

Method 1: Turn Off the Print Binder as a Single Job Option

1. In Microsoft Binder, click Binder Options on the File menu.



2. Under Apply to all binders, clear the Print binder as a single job check box.



3. Click OK.

Method 2: Quit Binder

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
