Mac Forum / Applications / Word / September 2006Text in Text box won't print
I have a document that has two text boxes in it. One text box (text and border) prints fine, but only the border prints on the other one. I've brought the text box "to the front," but that hasn't heped. When I preview the document, all text and text boxes/borders show. I do have "drawing objects" checked in options. Any other ideas? What about the line width? Is that a hairline? That might lay bellow resolution of your printer. What happen if you print it in PDF?

What shows up in Print Preview? The text isn't formatted as hidden, is it? (Little dots underneath, if so) Try changing the font color for the text from Automatic to straight black (or some color guaranteed to show up in your situation). > I have a document that has two text boxes in it.

Read the FAQ: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Word: 2002 OS: XP Pro In preview I see both text boxes--text and borders. Text is not hidden (no little dots). The line width and all set-up is the same for both text boxes (as far as I can tell)--colors are the same too. > What version of Word and OS? > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > > > Any other ideas? Hi Alissa: Word 2002 was a real bug-farm. Make sure you have applied ALL the updates (there are lots...) Then CUT the bad text box, and PASTE it back in so that the anchor attaches to a different paragraph. Chances are, the anchor has gotten itself muddled. If you can see it in print preview, then you should be able to see it on the paper. As others have suggested, make sure the Text is set to a colour of "Automatic" or "Black". Ummm... Neither of these text boxes is the first one in the document, are they? There was a notorious bug in previous versions of Word where if a graphical element was the first character in a file, it wouldn't print... Put a space before the graphic anchor and voila!

I checked the anchor position and made sure that it was anchored to the third paragraph (I have two blank lines above the anchor position); I also inserted a space as the first character in the line (though definitely not the first character in the document). None of these helped; I got the same result when I printed. I think I might have to just re-create the document (it's quite small) in order for it to print. Thanks everyone. > Hi Alissa: > [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > >> > > >> > Any other ideas? The idea is to MOVE the anchor, which forces Word to rebuild the paragraph... It sometimes works... Re-building the text box (or the entire document...) may be your best strategy. Before you do that, try saving the entire document as a web page (note: Web Page, not "Web Page (filtered)". Open the web page version and re-save it as a document. That can often fix what ails a document. You may have to tidy up a little, but almost everything will rebuild correctly.
