Default Not printing the text inside textboxes

Hiya,

I am running Office 97 on Windows 2000.

I have created a Word document and have put some textboxes on it. The background colour of the txtboxes is light yellow, and the text within is arial size 10 and is black (automatic) colour.

When I print though it printes everything perfect except it will not print any of the text that is inside the textboxes - it just leaves them blank. I have tested this on all types of printers - black and white and colour, and in every case it is perfect except for leaving the textboxes blank.

Do you know what is wrong and how I might fix it?

Thanks,

Basil

Surely the root-cause of the problem is the printer driver. Try:

1. change the colour=automatic to "black"
2. printing to another printer.
3. check if updated printer driver available from printer manufacturer.
4. check if vendor of printer reports similar problems on their support
web site.
5. check Google for similar problems with this particular printer.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

On the Tools menu, click Options. In the Options dialog box, make sure
that "Drawing objects" is checked on the Print tab. Does that help?
