Default Text contained in a text box shows on screen but doesn't print

It may be a print spooling issue (document going to the printer before the
spool file is complete). Try disabling background printing (Tools | Options
| Print). If that doesn't help, go into the printer Properties and rummage
around until you find an option to print directly to the printer (without
spooling).

My "drawing objects" item on the Print tab of Tools|Options is checked. I
have a page in which photos, scans, and text are arranged in thirteen
texboxes, and nothing else outside the boxes is on the page. All appear

as
intended in "Print Preview" but in printing, only elevent text box

contents
print - two are missing, one of text only, the other a scan of a

photograph.
Three other scans of photos do print, as do four other boxes of text and

four
boxes of digital photos.

Suddenly, any text contained within text boxes doesn't print out

although
it
shows up on the screen.

Any ideas?

Not sure if it's a problem within Word or the printer settings.
