Hey,
I assume, you are running a german version of Microsoft Word.
Microsoft, in their great wisdom, has translated all resources in
the programs from the English language into German. Unfortunately
they also have translated postscript-code into German. Since there
is no german postscript ... you cannot print!

The solution:

Drag the "Formel-Editor" onto ResEdit. Open STR# ID 29551 and change
entry no. 42 from "Aktueller Punkt" to "currentpoint".

That should help.

Michael
