That's fairly conclusive that you have either a third party add-in that is
causing Word problems or a partially corrupt or incompatible printer driver.
Try switching to a different printer (if you have one available) and see if
that resolves the issue. Failing that, check that you have the latest driver
for your printer/OS and then delete and reinstall the printer.
If it isn't the printer driver, then look for add-ins and remove them: then
add them back one at a time until you find the culprit. See how to find
add-ins at

If you are still having problems, post here again for some further advice.
