This works without issue. As long as I print - from within Word Itself (File-Print). If I save the document locally from the email to a local folder - then go to the folder and right click on the document and choose Print - the error occurs there as well.
Works just fine - again as long as I am in Word itself. (File->Print).
Today I have made another interesting discovery. Seems that if the attachment is a .doc format (Word 2003 and prior) vs a Word 2007 format (.docx) and greater - the error does NOT occur.
So it seems the plot thickens and only seems to apply to *.doc files in this case.
I was on the phone with MS for 40 minutes today and no one there has any idea what is going on. Another fine case of support having little clue about their own software.
I am very annoyed at what has suddenly changed to make .doc files seem so dangerous.
I totally "get" that malicious files are a fact of life and that MS is trying to help less educated users understand the dangers. But in this case - I really need to turn this file protection off completely and get Office to not be so heavy handed with it's fear over certain file formats.
