In Microsoft Word 2010, I can't open the printer properties dialog. When I hit Ctrl+P, the print dialog is opened. When I try to click on "Properties" beneath the printer, nothing happens. Any ideas?
The print properties dialog works just fine in other programs, like Firefox or even Outlook 2010. I have one USB and a few networked printers. The problem occurs when opening pre-created documents and new documents.

This is a very localized and can be caused by your specific computer, Office install, printers, etc. This means it will be difficult to give you a definitive answer. What I believe it could be is a compatibility issue. Word supposedly can cause issues with printer properties when in
Compatibility Mode
