PUB: Invalid Page Fault Pressing Alt+O in Print Dialog Box (155109)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Publisher for Windows 3.0
This article was previously published under Q155109 SYMPTOMS
Under certain circumstances, if you press the Alt+O keys while in the
Print dialog box, you receive the following error message:
This program has performed an illegal operation and will be
shut down. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.
If you click Details, you will see the following message:
MSPUB caused an invalid page fault in module MSPUB.EXE at
0137:00439c30.
This problem occurs if, while in the Print dialog box, you change
the printer from a printer that does support tabloid-sized paper to a
printer that doesn't.
This problem occurs under the following circumstances:
- The page size of your publication is 8.5" x 11"
- You change the printer from one that supports Tabloid size paper to
one that doesn't.
- You press Alt+O before you exit the Print dialog box.
CAUSE
Alt+O is the keyboard shortcut equivalent of the Book Printing Options
button.
When your publication is set up for 8.5" x 11" paper and your printer
supports Tabloid (11" x 17") paper, the Print dialog box has a Book
Printing Options button in the lower left corner. If you choose a printer
that does not support Tabloid paper, the button disappears. The error
occurs when you try to activate the button that is no longer there.
This problem can occur at any time if you:
- Change the printer settings while in the Print dialog box so that
the Book Printing Options, Tile Printing Options, or Page Options
button disppears
- Press Alt+O
RESOLUTION
Don't press Alt+O while in the printer dialog box unless you can see a
Book Printing Options, Tile Printing Options, or Page Options button.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
