Microsoft Word Problem Prints Blank Boxes???

Hi

I have a word document with a table on it, some of cells are shaded different levels of Gray with text over the top and this prints fine.

I haven't seen the original doc, but a colleague edited the table and it all looks fine on the screen and fine on print preview, but when the document is printed 5 of the boxes just print out completely blank???

I can't for the life of me figured it out?

I have checked table > borders and shading and on the 5 cells in question the settings match all the other cells that print ok

If I add a text box over the cells and type something then this shows on the printout, but I need the text physically in the table

Any suggestions???

Thanks:cry

 

Make sure you have "Drawing objects" checked on the Print tab of Tools > Options.

See if that makes a difference.

Matacumbie, it wasn't "Drawing objects" but you my friend are a genius! It was on that same screen, there is an option "Background Printing" which was checked, when I unchecked it it printed perfectly!

I'd never have found that!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

 

That was my next suggestion. LOL

Glad you figured it out, good job.
