Default Increase size of Print Que in Win 98 SE

My print que isn't large enough to spool all of the files I need to
print in sequence. Is there a way to increase the size of the que so it
will print all of the files in stead of just 10 pages or so?

Thx

There is more than one way to skin this cat but
first we need to know:
1. Printer memory (if any)
2. System RAM
3. System swap file (free drive space.)
4. Printing app.

I have a particular situation with some Microsoft Word files. I wrote a
book about Trigonometry. Because of the complicaitons with making
graphincs using line art and the equation editor, I opted to create each
page of the book as a separate Word file. I added the page numbers as
footers after the book was complete. I tried to merge the files into one
but the formating on some of the pages was scrambled or lost even when I
applied page brakes. I used Microsoft Binder as a last resort, and it
would've worked nicely, but there is no way to override its page
numbering system. It always changes the footers that I defined, even
when I set them to stay the same. I really need a simple program that
will just allow me to put Word files into a single print job without
changing anything. I can't believe how hard it has been just to do this
little simple thing! It's frustrating.

Any suggestions?

Thx,
Tevibear

Oh, and the printer is an HP 845c. The ram in the system is 256 MB with
plenty of it left. Swap file being used is nada. Printing all of the
files from Microsoft Binder allows all of the pages to print. I believe
it is because it combines them into one print job. Maybe the system is
limited to a number of print jobs rather than number of actual documents
that can print. I'm not sure.

This looks unlike an operating system
problem. You will probably get better advice
in specialized MS NGs for this software or for
MS Office. (It is quite ironic that so many
academic publishers have adopted MS Word
as their preferred word processor when it is
so unsuitable, e.g. actively resists the use of
French and English typographic conventions
in the same paper, as Canadians so often
require.)

Thx. I'll try other sources. I agree with you about MS Word now. I have
had a lot of problems with it. I find that it could use a lot of work.
The way it is programmed insults the intelligence of the user. More
sophisticated options should be available to us for composing documents
with line art and graphics imported as objects and more options for
typesetting and merging documents with WYSIWIG capability. Also, more
powerful printing and file output options like making PDF files from
multiple separate documents etc...

Thx again,

Tevibear
