Text missing form Word 04 doc in Word 08 in print layout mode

[Gusto]

I'm just dipping my toe into Word 08 in our small office -- we have it on two out of four machines. However, one of the first documents I've opened is a single page we have used for years that has one large table broken into about 12 row and 8 columns. Some of the rows use reverse text on black.

In Print Layout (and Publish) mode, a couple of these rows disappear -- or partially disappear. There is only text in the cell, so it isn't a graphic issue. If I switch to draft mode, everything looks fine. Then I discovered I can even print or save to PDF and things are still good -- no invisible text.

In anyone else experiencing this discrepancy between the viewing modes?

No, you are the first to report that one

But watch for a response from Curt. I've copied him on this. He's the
Microsoft Engineer in charge of this kind of thing. I suspect he might like
a copy of that document

Cheers

Thanks, and sorry for the trouble.
