not printing from office 97

[Alfred Lorona]

How can I print an Microsoft Office 97 Word .DOC file in Vista Home Premium?
I get a screen message that says: 'Compile error in hidden module: AutoExec'
when I start Word. However, I can write a .DOC file and Print Preview and
Page Setup both work.

But when I click 'print' from the file menu, the on screen .DOC file
disappears and it doesn't print.

I suspect it's a compatibility problem because Office 97 worked OK in Win98
before I bought a computer with Vista in it. Now I don't know what, if
anything, I can do about the problem.

Thanks for any help. AL

It probably is a compatibility issue but you will likely have better luck
