Word 2002 Printing: Some text boxes do not print.
I am drawing a school plan in a Word document where i use text boxes to hold
different blocks of classrooms. For eg, Block A has 3 floors of classrooms, so i insert 3 rows of cells to represent the classrooms into a text box. I then format the text boxes to have no fill and no line, so only the block of classroms show up. After drawing all the blocks i then position them in the correct layout of the school plan. Pls see the attached file. 'Print preview' shows all is well - all the blocks (text boxes) show up nice and good in their correct positions. But the printout shows one block missing, and it is always the same block at the top of the page which does not print out. I tried printing with another printer and it is the same. Can anyone help me figure ou what i did wrong? TIA |

Word 2002 Printing: Some text boxes do not print.
FWIW, I'm seeing the same thing here. I'm also losing the bottom border on
Blok H, but that's presumably because the text box is too short. That problem is remedied by deleting the excess paragraph marks from the table cells in the block. Nothing I do makes Blok F print, however. At this point I'm sure you don't want to start from scratch, but I see you are using Word 2002. Are you aware that in Word 2000 and above you can wrap tables without putting them in text boxes? If you put the block label in a merged top row of each table, then you could avoid text boxes altogether. -- Suzanne S.

Word 2002 Printing: Some text boxes do not print.
If you want someone to view a document either post it to your web space and
provide a link or in some circumstances you may be asked to post it privately. However now that you have attached it, I have examined the document and as Suzanne has confirmed the document doesn't print the Blok F. I can get it to print that block by right clicking the border of the text box that contains the table and breaking the forward link. The document seems to be teetering on the verge of corruption and in fact crashed Word while I was messing with the formatting to get some of the missing bottom borders to print. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org chungacs wrote: "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

Word 2002 Printing: Some text boxes do not print.
Hi Chungacs,
As Graham points out the Blok F text box has picked up a 'linked text box' attribute that appears to be linking to itself, that is a buglet with the text boxes and does corrupt the document. You may be able to simply resave the file to a new file name after following the steps Graham found (right click on the text box and break the link), but you may also want to use File=Save As Single Page Web page, close the file, reopen it and resave as a .doc file. For Word 2002 that can sometimes remove the little odd bits. As Suzanne pointed out, with Word 2002 you can use the tables without the text boxes, but one thing that you may want to consider is replacing the 'tight' text wrapping on the text boxes with 'in front of text'. Word is working pretty hard with trying to maintain the positions of the boxes using 'tight' when they all come together or overlap. ========= "chungacs" wrote in message ...
