| 490605 | 2006-10-10 21:19:00 | This problem has been vexing me for nearly two days now . . . I have a (relatively) large document, and on one page I have a series of text boxes with contact details for various people in the organisation . However, in one of the text boxes, the text is visible on screen, is visble in print preview, but won't show up in the printout . I've tried: Re-creating the text box Re-entering the text Re-creating the text box and then re-entering the text Copying a text box that is printing, and modifying the details to match the faulty text box Selecting/unselecting "hidden text" in Format/Font Printing on a different printer (3, to be precise) Making this even stranger, is that when I move a text box that is printing into the space that was occupied by the faulty text box, it prints fine - but the text box I create in the space previously occupied by the working text box won't print out . If I fill the text box with a background colour, that prints out - it's just text that doesn't print out . :confused: :confused: Can anyone offer any advice, before I make the fatal leap and introduce my computer to a nice relaxing hot bath . . . :badpc: :badpc: :badpc: |

Gave it a try just now - no luck. I tried both Bring to Front and Bring in Front of Text, but neither worked. Thanks for the suggestion, though. Any others? |

| 490608 | 2006-10-11 02:35:00 | It should. Suggestion One: Kill the text boxes and use a border instead. Suggestion Two: Use a real desktop publishing program and import your text from Word into it. ITs much better at that sort of thing. |
