Hi,
I am trying to print to a sheet of Avery business card templates, but
not by using the Avery driver, just by setting the margins to 0.5" 0.75"
0.5" 0.75" & creating a 5-row, 2-col table within them
Each of these 10 cells in turn contains a single-column, 2-row table
containing text in the Andale Mono font. The top row of the embedded
table contains an ascii-art logo, the bottom row also contains plain,
monospace text. There is some letter-spacing, line-spacing, color, and
table-background-shading formatting in both rows
When I "Print Preview" all the content and formatting is preserved
If I print or export to PDF, the top cell *almost* comes out correctly,
it retains its background color & 3 out of four of the lines of text
appear fine, but the first line doesn't appear at all. The lower cell
is just gone, as far as I can tell, there is no sign of either the
colored text nor the background color.
I admit I do not know that this is a Word table issue, I didn't see a
word.printing group. I suspected the printer driver first, but because
exporting to PDF produces the same results, I am thinking it looks like
Word itself
This is MS Word 2002 (10.2627.2625), on Windows 2000. The target
printer is an Epson Stylus CX5200 All-in-one with the latest software.
Adobe PDF Distiller is version 5.0
Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks,
Kenneth

In case anyone is curious: eliminating all of the background shading
allowed the document to print correctly, after that I was able to re-add
the background shading and somehow it worked, but at that point decided
I liked it better without anyway.. if only for the cost of ink.

Glad you found a solution. Note that there is a
microsoft.public.word.printingfonts NG, but presumably you would have done
as well there. <g>
