Another Problem
All Pub versions
Does not print what you see on screen. I have a picture I placed to the edge of the page ..... the made a rectangle and faded the inside from white to clear and placed it over the picture which results in a nice fade of the picture to the edge of the paper ... well at least it sure does on screen. Problem is it just doesn't print whats on screen, instead it cuts off the picture where the rectangle was placed over the picture.

Is it possible that your printer does not print to the edge?

Another Problem
No ... that is not the problem ... it's a simple business card one up so
it's not the printer. It acts as if the rectangle I placed over the picture wich is gradient filled from white to clear just blocks out the picture ... but it shows the desired fade out affect on screen. Pub 2007 and tried it in 2002 with the same problem. "John Inzer" wrote in message ... Wayne wrote: All Pub versions Does not print what you see on screen.

Another Problem
OK ... tried that ... when I saved the rectangles to a png and imported and
placed over the picture to create the edge fade out I noticed the png file had shrunk in size. So I stretched it to fit. Did not solve the problem though ... still the same problem.

If the .png placed over your picture does not print correctly you may have a printer issue.

Another Problem
I can send you the file if you wish .....
Rectangles along all 4 sides of the business card. 4 of them. The rectangles are filled with a gradient from white to clear to give the look of the picture having a nice fade out on the edge. Not a printer issue. "John Inzer" wrote in message ...

If you would like to upload the file to YouSendIt I'll have a look.
