Install Open Office from http://www.openoffice.org but don't associate it with .DOC or other files. Now open a copy your document (be patient as it translates it) and see if it prints the first couple pages.
Bingo, a solution.
In closing, I install this on all the office machines and "it's what I use."

Using Office XP Pro, HP Laserjet 1300, trying to print a longish document. The first page or page and a half won't print. I've tried copying the page in question to a new document, saving it and printing, I get a blank piece of paper. If I just print the whole thing, I get the last half of page 2, positioned properly on page 2, about halfway down, but nothing before it, just blank.
I've tried highlighting and printing selection, nothing; blank page again. Tried single spacing instead of double spacing, same paragraphs won't print. I reinstalled Office, same thing. Installed in a different computer, same thing, one is Athlon, one is Pentium. Defraged hard drives in both computers, reinstalled printer drivers, put new air in my tires and changed the cat box...same thing.
Print perview is fine in all cases. Other stuff prints fine. I can retype it, but this pricey software is consistantly giving me print problems. If I print a long document, it just skips random chunks of it and prints everything else. Any Ideas?
Thanks for any help!!
