Default Missing text with pdf Conversion

When I convert my Word document to pdf, the pdf file has whole chunks of text
missing.

The file is a table that is four pages long. No embedded stuff or graphics
in it, just text with different styles applied.

I can't find a pattern (i.e., it is not just one style that is missing, a
block of text is missing from every page but not in the same place, some part
of a row will print out but not others).

I have checked that under Tools Options Drawing Objects is checked.
Although as mentioned, it's text within a table.

Using Word 2000 on stand alone XP and Acrobat 5.

Any help with this hair-puller, greatly appreciated!

Will said missing text print on a regular printer?

BTW - You might be able to start a new fashion trend if you pull enough
chunks out but I don't think I'll be adopting that style any time soon. ;-)

Hi JoAnn,

Thx a mint for replying to this post.

Yes, the text shows in print preview, and prints on a standard laser printer
(HP Laserjet 4050).

just call me patch-head

Dear Patch-head,


Any chance you missing text all uses the same font that happens to be
something different than the rest of the document?

haha...

Nope, most of the text in that column is "Normal" style including chunks
that are missing and text portions that show up properly in the pdf. Any
ideas?

cheers,
patch-ier

Patch-ier -

Can you send me the file or is it proprietary?
