I have a MS Word 4.00D file which is doing some strange things.  THe
file is 18 pages long, and starting at page 10 there are a number of
charts from Excel.  These were pasted in via the 'Copy as Picture'
command in Excel.  When I print the whole document, at page 10 I will
get a 'rangecheck' PostScript error and a corresponding dialog from
Word.  Page 10 and the rest of the document do NOT print.

If I print from page 11 forward (more charts), things are just fine.
Note that many of these charts are in color, and they cause no
problems; page 10 is black-and-white.

I did a print to File of just this page of the document, and when I
SendPS it to our Laserwriter IIntx (laserwriter driver 6.0.2), I get the
following in the log file:

       STACK:
       29793
       4
       (Rvd  %%[ Error: rangecheck; OffendingCommand: put ]%%
       %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%

I've varied settings in Page Setup (Color/Grayscale <-> Black & White) 
				   (Faster Bitmap Printing ON <-> OFF)
				   (Smoothing ON <-> OFF)

Summary of configuration:
   Macintosh IIci under 6.0.5 or IIfx under 6.0.7
   Laserwriter driver 6.0.1 (w/6.0.5) or 6.0.2 (w/6.0.7)
   MS Word 4.00D
   MS Excel 2.2a
   Laserwriter IIntx (2 meg of memory)
  
Any ideas?
