The save to PDF concerns me since that's almost all done with the MacOSX and not word.
My only thought is to remove the printer and concentrate on what should be a MSFT only issue which is the PDF portion.
But I read discussions like http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2701335&tstart=30 and find folk having trouble printing from Word 2011 to a Canon printer!
WHAT'S REALLY INTERESTING is that OSX 10.6.5 is under discussion.

Just installed Office for Mac 2011 yesterday to help solve compatibility issues, but found it crashes every time I try to print or save a PDF version of my work. It's running on a Macbook pro under OSX 10.6.5, and printing to a Canon MP 150 connected to my G5 running under OSX 10.4.11. Pages prints just fine from the Macbook using the remote connection, so what the....????. Saw a post that talked about font weeding, which I then checked out, & found & deleted some duplicate fonts, but it didnt help. Advice, suggestions etc are VERY welcome!!
Cheers,
John
