Today we had an old Word problem come back to haunt us again. A few years back this came up and I thought 2 Word revisions on that this would now be solved.
The problem in question was a Word document of just over 2Mb when sent to the printer would take an age to then print. We started with the obvious removing all traces of images including Visio drawings and then as the problem stayed moved on to removing GIF images and then copying and pasting the document into a new file.
Nothing solved it, finally the user with the problem changed the borders on the table that ran almost the length of the document. Changing from a dotted line to a plain standard line and printing was as fast as ever.
It appears that Word hasn't been fixed of this issue and some searching of the KB found this old article on NT4 and LaserJet 5 printers: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/163599
Just goes to show you are better off taking note of these things as you can't rely on them getting fixed no matter how many revisions are made.
