Default WYSIWYG problem

Hi Steve

Thanks for posting back with your discovery. It might help someone else
with the same problems.

Thank you for your reply.

I resolved the issue, or rather a work around. There is another one
cell
table before the table where I am having problems and the flow for the
one
cell table had text flowing around it vs. text not flowing around it.
This
property should not make any difference at all for the table I am
having a
problem with. Word 2003 should be WYSIWYG and I believe this
work-around is
to a bug within Word 2003.

Hi Steve

Currently, the style is normal + Times New Roman and its a
requirement
to

keep the font in Times New Roman.

That sounds like you're talking about the paragraph style(s) used in
the
table. What I meant was to change the table style. Select the entire
table (Table Select Table). Using the Styles & Formatting pane,
apply the "Table Normal" style. Adjust borders to suit your needs.
Does
that solve the problem? If so, then you could get the TNR font either
by
modifying the table style itself, or just adding direct formatting to
the paragraphs as you are doing now.

My only other suggestion would be to try making the borders thicker.
If
thick borders work, and thin ones don't, then you'll have an answer,
even if it's not the one you want g.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply Shauna.

With respect to the XML nodes, I have already deleted all of the
XML
nodes,
so the nodes aren't the reason.

I know that the document is not running out of printing area
because I
can
add a border around the entire page and the border does print.

I have tried three different printers, wheare each printer is a
different
brand name. I also saved to Microsoft's xps file type, so i can
view
it in
internet explorer and the problem still persists there as well.

Currently, the style is normal + Times New Roman and its a
requirement
to
keep the font in Times New Roman.

I converted the file to PDF using Primo PDF and the conversion is
the
same
as if it were printed (no WYSIWYG).

Do you have any other suggestions?

Hi Steve

So you've already ruled out the VSTO solution as the cause of the
problem. So let's look at the XML schema. As a diagnostic test,
can I
suggest that you try displaying and hiding the pink XML tags (use
the
XML Structure task pane - tick the box at the bottom of the pane).
Does
one or other make a difference?

And, having hidden the pink XML tags, try showing and hiding the
XML
placeholders for empty tags (Tools Templates and Add-ins XML
Schema
XML Options).

If that doesn't help, un-hitch the document from the schema and
remove
all the pink XML tags. Do you still have the same problem?

If not, then the XML tags are the problem, and I don't know a good
solution. I haven't had great success with the XML tags in tables.
Or
to
be precise, I've had real troubles with a table within an XML tag.
And I
gave up completely on mixing nested tables and XML tags.

If you do still have the problem, then the XML tags aren't the
cause.

Are the tables near the edges of the page? Maybe you're running
out
of
printable area. See:
The bottom of my pages don't print
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...sDontPrint.htm

Or maybe, as I sometimes suspect and can never replicate, there is
a
problem with the table style. Try clicking in the table and
applying
style Table Normal. Then, add or remove borders as necessary to
get
the
borders you need. Does that help?

Or, maybe it's a printer driver problem. Make sure that the
printer
drivers are up to date and are for the right version of Windows.
And,
try printing to a PDF 'driver' such as the free PrimoPDF
(www.primopdf.com). If it works when printed to the PDF, then you
know
it's a hardware printer driver problem.

Hope this helps. If you learn the cause, please let us know in
case
others have similar problems in the future.

Hello,



I am developing and populating a document using VSTO 2005 and MS
Word
2003 SP2

. Within the document is a table. In the table cells are XML
nodes,
where
I programmatically populate the XML Nodes in this table.
Everything
looks
good on screen and in print preview, but when I print the
document,
part of
the table border is not printing. Also, some of the text from
one
page will
get pushed down into the next page when its printed. Thus, it
is
not
"what
you see is what you get". The borders of the table are solid
line
and
I have
printed this document to multiple different printers and printer
brands (HP,
Xerox, etc.) and I get the same result. However, when I print
the
document
from Word 2007, everything prints fine. I have about 300 users
who
are using
this application and the error I have just described is not
persistent.

This document was originally created using VSTO and I initially
posted
to
that group, but when I strip away anything to do with VSTO from
the
document,
the document not being WYSIWG still persists so I was told to
post
to
this
group from a VSTO MVP

Does anyone know of a solution to this? Is this a known issue
with
Word
2003? I have a two page document that I could email to anyone
who
is
willing
to help.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Steve
