Screen image does print the same

[Frank C]

Hello,
I have created a logo and it does not print as it shows on screen. Can
anyone help me to get it working?
I have tried multiple printers and they do the same thing. An hp laserjet
and a brother inkjet.
I wanted some text rotated 90 degrees in the logo, so I used Powerpoint and
created the sideways text. Then I did a 'paste special' and dropped the
sideways text into word, where it acts like a picture. I placed the image
where I wanted it.
Onscreen it looks correct.
When I print, the letters of the sideways text are rotated back to "normal"
but are arranged in a vertical fashion.
I don't understand how Word would do this with the graphic. I cannot print
it to printer correctly, however I can create a pdf that looks the same.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Frank

Hi Frank,

What version of Word and when you use Edit=>Paste Special in Word, what format are you using to paste?

Can you provide a link to web storage/blog, etc for a document where you're seeing this issue?

Word can do 90-degree rotated text in a table cell, as one other option you may want to look at.

Hi Bob,
I am using Word 2007 SP1. I am pasting the image as "Picture (Windows
Metafile)". This choice seemed to be the only one where the font quality did
not suffer when pasting.
I have posted some pictures illustrating my issue. The first pictue shows
the completed logo in Word - ready to print.

The second picture shows the "INC" I created in Powerpoint and pasted into
Word as a Picture (WMF). http://www.cspecialist.com/PowerpointPic.jpg
The third picture shows what the printer spits out - laser, inkjet, or pdf
creation. http://www.cspecialist.com/Printout.pdf

Notice how the I N C letters flip around? Weird. Thanks for your help!
Frank.
