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

Something turned it off, apparently. Either that, or your letter used to use
frames or inline text or tables instead of text boxes.

Hi Suzanne - Turning on "Drawing objects" was the answer. I certainly am

glad
I found your input.

My question is why did it not have to be "on" for the preceeding two

years
for text boxes to print. I have been using a "boiler plate" letter in my
business for the past two years that contained text boxes and they printed
perfectly well. I have Microsoft Updated set on automatic. Could it be

that
a recent update unintentionally caused the problem ????

As they say, "go figure".

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.
