WD2000: Error Message: "Out of stack space" Print Previewing or Printing Pages Per Sheet

ID: Q235238

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you try to print multiple pages per sheet, or when you click Print Preview on the File menu, the following error message may appear:

Out of stack space.

NOTE: If you try to print multiple pages per sheet, Word prints each page on a separate sheet instead of printing multiple pages on a single sheet.

WORKAROUND

Use one of the following methods as appropriate for your situation.

Method 1: Turn off Word add-ins.

This problem can occur with a file from a Word add-in that is loaded from the \Word\Startup folder. To prevent this problem, remove the add-in file or files from the Word 2000 startup folder.

The default path for the Word 2000 startup folder is as follows:

On Windows 95 and later:

C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP

On Windows NT:

C:\WINNT\Profiles\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP

NOTE: This problem has been reported to occur with the Bdstart.dot template located in the \Word\Startup folder. You may need to use Windows Explorer to search for Bdstart.dot and move any of these templates into a folder that is not in any Startup folder. The Bdstart.dot template is installed by Office By Design, published by Streetwise Software.
