doc from Publisher 2000 to 2003

[rjones]

I have a document that was originally created using Publisher 2000 and was
imported into the 2003 version and I've noticed a strange problem... on one
page, a text box was created and superimposed overtop of a clipart image and
the text box was free rotated so that the text would match the angle of the
clipart image. But now, when printing that page, the text in the rotated box
will not print clearly... I even deleted the old text box, recreated it using
the same text as before and free rotated it to fit the image again and still
the text will not print clearly... but if I leave the text box alone... in
other words... DO NOT free rotate to angle it, the words will print clearly!
Any idea why this is happening? The printer is the same one I've been
printing this Publisher file with for the last 8 or 9 years... an HP Color
Laserjet 8550N

Rotate from the format menu. Right-click the text box, format text box, size
tab. Maybe it will be clearer. Is it a common font?
I rotated some text (TNR), it did not look good on screen but it printed
perfect. I also have a laser printer, probably much older than yours. Although
mine is a b & w printer, might make a difference.
Have you tried WordArt? There is a download for WordArt compatibility so you can
use 2000 WordArt in the newer versions. You use it by Insert, Object, Scroll
down to Microsoft WordArt 3.2
