Windows 10: Microsoft Word 2016 Printing

Microsoft Word 2016 closes when I try to print.

All available updates have been installed.

:)

 

microsoft word 2003

I have a lot of ms word files on my pc. But one of them showed me an error - Getting unknown error messages while opening (.doc) or (.docx) files. I don't know how to open my word file or repair microsoft word. Any suggestions, guys, please.

 

No printing from Microsoft Word 2016, after update to 17134.137


Afrer Cumulative Update KB4284848 Windows 10 v1803 Build 17134.137 - June 26,
Word 2016 documents could not be printed.
MS Excel, Acrobat, Photoshop print fine. It's just Word that has the problem.

The last couple of years, I have been using a custom Word theme with default fonts, the Adobe Minion Pro and Adobe Myriad Pro. Both fonts are CFF OpenType fonts (.otf). Trying to print any document based on that theme is impossible.
If I change the theme fonts to TrueType (.ttf) Word prints just fine.

After some research, I found that, according to this post in the Adobe forum:

It is a known bug in Windows 10 v1803. Printing using Type 4 printer drivers fails when any OpenType CFF font is used in you document.

Microsoft is aware of the problem and working on releasing a fix on some upcoming Patch Tuesday.

So if anybody else faces the same issue, don't get crazy, with printer drivers, Office reinstallation etc. While waiting for a fix from Microsoft, to workaround the problem, either change all .otf fonts in your document, or if typeface is imperative in your document print your document to PDF and then print the PDF.

I hope that helps someone with the same problem.

Just a final note. A big thanks to @Wynona, for taking the time to test for the existence of the problem.

 

Jump Lists Not working for Word 2016 or Excel 2016


I have the same version.
If I don't have word pinned to my taskbar then I drop a word doc on the task bar it creates a shortcut to Word on my task bar with a pinned entry for that file - BUT when you click the file is says it doesn't exist then if you right click the file and click open it works just fine - so the problem gets even more strange *Smile





but if you right click text.docx and click open it works...





and the recent list never appears on the right click menu....

something somewhere is very confused - that includes me at the moment!
