SUMMARY
When you print a Microsoft Word document at 600dpi in either PostScript or
PCL, and it contains tables, it will create a very large spool file.
Microsoft Word document tables that have a grid border with a line type of
three-quarter point dots or dashes will cause the spool file to contain an
image; consequently, the spool file is very large and takes a long time to
generate.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
