This is a lovely template. However, I just tried to print out a few pages using it with my content and it would not print. Word simply hung up. I tried three times. Then, I copied a few pages from the template into a new Word file and it printed without a hitch. Why won’t the the file in the template print?
Sorry about that! The template prints perfectly fine. Did you add too many high-res pics in the template? This may be the reason of the hung up document. If there are many pictures then you can try compressing them before inserting them into the template. Another workaround would be to first convert the Word doc into a PDF file then print it. Thank you.
