There is a bug in the current version of Office that was acknowledged by the Microsoft Word Product Team on 25 August.


The problem arose during updating of some of the very old processes used by Word to make use of more modern coding architectures and practices that will allow the introduction of new features that would not be possible with the old coding, some of which is now going on being 40 years old.


Just reverting to the old code would preclude the introduction of new features and unfortunately, it takes time to work out the bugs in the new code. Too much time many of us would say, but, in the meantime, the work-around for us is to revert to an earlier version and build of our current Office installation or open the document in Word OnLine and print from there.


Others are saying that the problem can be overcome by having the box checked for "Update fields before printing" under File>Options>Display>Printing options
