Default The pain of printing charts


Hi Suzanne
Unfortunately this has not worked. Will update if I solve!

You might try (for this document only) disabling background printing (Tools
| Options | Print). This will mean that you won't be able to do anything
else while the document is printing, but if the issue is a spooling one,
that might correct it.

Morning
So I have a rather large document in word which has lots of lovely
colourful
charts inserted into it. All looks good, print preview looks fine.
So, i press print and the charts on several pages of the print have now
dissapeared!
So I try printing in black and white and they all print out fine.
I print out one page at a time in colour and it prints out fine.

Ive searched the internet and standard replies are that "drawing objects"
and "background images" should be checked in the tools menu, which they
are.

Does anyone have any ideas? I am at a loss on this. My only thought is
that MS word has problems processing lots of graphics in a document and
randomly prints blanks as soon as it reaches its limit. Marvelous.
That said, I converted the document to pdf file and the same charts are
missing when printed!

Anyway, any help gratefully appreciated.

Thanks
