Printing problem

M

Mmobilman

I created a document in Word 2002, but when I try to print, all I get is a
blank page. I tried copying it to Notepad and also Wordpad, with teh same
results. I am able to print from OE so I know the printer is functioning
properly.

Is the text in the document in a text box? If so, do you have "Drawing
objects" checked on the Print tab of Tools | Options? I don't know how this
would affect Notepad or WordPad, but suppressing drawing objects will
prevent text in a text box from printing in Word. Generally, it's best to
avoid text boxes entirely, anyway, unless you have a very good reason for
using them.
