Printing Issue After Updating Word 365 on iPad

Eloy Gonzalez 100

After updating Word 365 App on my iPad Pro M4 running iPad OS 26, the print function in Word does not work. Today’s update also updated Excel 365 and print works on Excel as well as other apps on my iPad Pro M4. It seems that only Word’s print fails. The “print menu item” is available on Word 365, but it does nothing with selected.

Marie, I can’t say how disappointing it is to have WORD PROCESSOR that can’t print… seems as if it defeats the purpose! To have to export as PDF to be able to print it from Preview or to have to read this with another word processor (Pages) to print seems kludgy. Lamentably this happened right before I had to provide copies of several documents for a meeting. ☹️ Hopefully MS will test more thoroughly before future updates to an app are released to ensure that major functionality (ahem - like printing on a word processor) hasn’t been degraded by an update. Although I’m sorry that you are experiencing the same thing, I’m glad to know it isn’t only me who has been affected in this way by this update.

Putting a 👍🏾here to your sentiment because the page won’t let me tap the button under your post. I wonder how many folks are running into this issue. Particularly, finding out at the most critical point of needing the printed document…

That makes sense and is a good temporary solution. Since AirPrint works in other apps and you’ve reported the issue to Microsoft, the problem is likely with the recent Word update. Using PDF export or Pages to print is the supported workaround until Microsoft releases a fix. Keep an eye on Word updates in the App Store, as the fix should arrive in a future update.

Word updated again today and the printing issue was resolved with that update… So, it seems that the print problem the previous update created has been resolved with today’s (11/24/25) update of the iPad app. Thanks to all for your help!
