SYMPTOMS
When print from Word for Windows NT, print performance is extremely

CAUSE
This problem occurs when you print from Word for Windows NT, you have the
print in background option selected, and Project version 4.0 is running.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, turn off background printing in Word for Windows
NT.
NOTE: If Word for Windows NT stops responding (hangs), you may be able to
work around the problem by pressing ALT+TAB to get to the Project 4.0
window and choosing one of the menu items.
This problem is caused by Project 4.0 constantly polling for I/O. For
