solution to Word 2007 BUG options.printbackgroundfailure<[email protected]

I posted this question several months ago (under y dmitri karpov account), and have finally stumbled on the answer.
There is a bug in Word 2007.
If the username and initials fields are not filled in, then for some inexplicable reason, the VBA code

options.printbackground

will fail to execute with a bad parameter error.

Custom solutions that require this code for printing will fail silently (or with a bad parameter error).

The solution: have the user put their username and initials in word. Close word. Try again.

I have reported this bug to Microsoft.
