Hi all,
I have a 9 page Word document that contains a large number of ActiveX
controls from the form toolbar, i.e. textboxes, radio buttons and a couple
of command buttons. I've used this because my customer's clients need to be
guided through filling in a whole pile of data and I have used VBA to hide
and unhide the controls depending on how the client starts filling in the
document. It all works nicely in versions 97 through to 2007 so I was quite
chuffed. However, when they (using Word 2003) or I (using Word 2002 or 2007)
try to print it out, we get 9 nearly blank pages. The only things that get
printed out are the lines around a table.

The document is normally protected to allow data input only via the form,
but even when I unprotect it the printing still doesn't work. I've Googled
every combination of words that I can think of that might be relevant, but
can't find anything that explains what the reason for the problem is let
alone a solution.

Can anyone help, please?

Many thanks,

Alan Cossey

PS Getting the clients to use Infopath for data input is a non-starter.
