The solutions offered by the link given by Broni should be tried even though they were written for older Office versions. I wouldn't do anything with the registry. Just uninstall and reinstall the printer.

If that doesn't help and if you have Office 2003 install it and see if things work better.Office 2007 is a huge program with it's own share of problems that most users don't benefit from.

have uninstalled and reinstalled many times and it is the same running word 2003

Go to control panel > administrative tools > services.Print Spooler should be Stated, Automatic. Please check. If not set correctly set it right.

Is it Word 2003, or 2007?
