Default Word 2007 Equation Editor - apparent conflict with graphics

We are having the same issue with Enterprise Office and Equations.
We have tried several "Fix's" such as change the True_Type font to print as
Bitmap, but this is an inconsistant fix.
We Have tried mutiple printer models, brands, and drivers. Its just seams to
be a hit and miss with the equation editor wether it will print the equations
or not.
We may have to roll about 500 users back to 2003 if there is not a
workaround for this issue.

Thank you for getting back to me, Bob!

We are leaving the equation font as Cambria Math (the default). The
justification is typically Centered as a Group, but I've tried all the
justifications including in line and have the same problem with all of them.

We do not have any right to left languages enabled.

Our logo is in the header on the first page and in the footer on the 2nd
page. However, I've tried moving them out of the header/footer and placing
them in the body and have the same problem.

We did some more troubleshooting last night - a colleague has Office 2007
Standard Edition at home, and she tried it there and the equations printed
fine, even with the transparent logo. Could this be an issue with
Professional Plus only?

Thank you for any light you can shed on this!

Hi K.,

Where is the graphic located (body of document, header, footer)?

If you double click on the border of the equation what formatting/location have you chosen and are there right to left languages
enabled in Word 2007 (if so you would have a right to left text direction icon on the Home ribbon).

Is Cambria Math available and is that the font applied to the equation content?

I'm using Office 2007 Professional Plus, Word 2007 Equation Editor.

I'm putting equations into files with our company logo in them (.bmp format).

The equations look fine on screen and in print preview mode, but when output
to local printers, network printers, or generated to PDF through Adobe 8's
ribbon tab, the equations print out only horizontal bars (if any are included
in the equation - nothing if no horizontal bars are in the equation).

I've tried switching the logo to a .jpg or .tif file format, and this works
fine, but I get a gray haze around the logo because these file formats are
not clear background. When I use the Picture Tool, Recolor, Set Transparent
to make the background transparent, the equation again will not print.

The only workaround I have found is to use the Microsoft Add-In for Print to
PDF or XPS, print the file to PDF and then print out the resulting PDF;
however, my engineers are not happy with this clumsy solution! Does anyone
have any ideas on this one? Thanks! ??
