Can't print or print preview with table of contents and smart tags   

Hi,

has anyone had problems printing word documents that had smart tags and
a word generated table of contents anywhere in the document.

When I try to print or print preview, when having a word generated
table of contents in my smart document, Word just hangs, and I have to
eventually kill the process.

If I take out the table of contents, the print and print preview work
again. 

Thanks in advance.

Sylvain,

I'm not quite sure if you're talking about Smart Tags, Smart Documents or 
both. I never had problems with Smart Tags and they're used in almost every 
document I edit and print. I did however had a bunch of fatal errors using 
Smart Documents (I'm talking about the ISmartDocument interface) with 
managed code. Microsoft Word became very unstable and usually died, so I did 
not use Smart Documents for a while. VSTO 2005 promises to be much easier 
and more reliable, so I will give it a fair chance in the near future.

If you're using managed code and the old VSTO implementation to implement a 
Smart Document, I expect that you will have trouble from time to time. I 
personally don't think that Word doesn't like something to be placed in a 
particular cell, but who knows.

Michael

Re: Can't print or print preview with table of contents and smart tags   

Thanks for answering so quickly. Sorry, yes I'm talking about smart
tags and smart documents, I'm using ISmartDocument. Funny you mentioned
that, because I just tried a new word document with smart tags only and
no managed code, so just with a schema attached, inserted a table of
contents, and was able to print. So I guess, the problem resides with
the dll.

I think you're right, this is not the only problem I have with smart
documents, I think the technology is really unstable right now, we will
be using VSTO 2005 in the future, but I still have to be patient for a
little while :) 

Thanks again. 

sylvain.
