WD2000: "Print to File" Option Set After Printing from Binder (214494)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Word 2000
This article was previously published under Q214494

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, the binder prints to a file before sending the file to the printer. Thus, the Print to file option remains available when you start Word.

WORKAROUND

Use one of the following methods appropriate for your situation:

Method 1: Turn Off 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

Before you start Word, quit Microsoft Binder.
