Hello,
I couldn't find a similar topic so here goes...
Why can I not see (Print Preview) or print my drawings in my Word
document?
The drawings appear on my screen but then vanish at print time.
This document has a troubled beginning (due to my ignorance). It began
as a .dot (template) file.
Today I read up a little on templates and created a new document (.doc)
using the original (.dot) as its template.
Voila! :^( the drawings still don't print...Ugh!
I created all the drawings with the standard drawing toolbar in Word.
All the drawings are inside a Frame (removing the frame didn't help).
I cannot post the document to an open forum but I'd be happy to make it
available to someone with th ability to figure this out.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Rob

If it was a word document but started off as a template at some point
it may also have been munged by one of the Word macro viruses that are
floating around.
NPAD.A for example remains in some encrypted state.

Rob, There is a switch hidden somewhere under Options (I think) that's called something like "Print drawing objects." If this is off, then drawings show on screen but not paper. Pilar. | |||||

re: .2 Pilar, Bingo! That was it. I must have cleared this box in the past. I can now see my drawings in print preview and I presume from the printer. Also, to (Bill or Bob) Crosby to whom I spoke by phone... Thanks for your willingness to help out. I did try to send you the files on SINBAD but I couldn't reach that node(?) Anyway, it works! -Rob | |||||

Rob, It's Gary, and CIMBAD, as opposed to CIMMOM, or... Anyway, glad you're operational. gc | |||||
