Shading not printing
The shading in my documents is not showing up when I print out my document.
I have recently gotten a new computer w/new operating system using MS Word 2003, which seems to account for the problem, as it wasn't before. Can anyone help? Thank you! Sasha |

Could be a number of things but start with easy stuff. Check the PRINT tab
in the TOOLS | OPTIONS dialog box. Make sure the draft output is not checked. Is the shading part of a form? If so, ensure the FIELD CODES option on this same dialog box is checked. Next, see if shading in other documents or other applications (e.g. Excel) prints. If Excel can print a shaded range of cells, then it's a Word problem (e.g. setting, corrupt file, etc.) if Excel cannot print a shaded range of cells, then it's a printer or printer driver/setup problem. Hope this helps. Bob Tulk MOUS(XP/97) "Serenity2u" wrote: The shading in my documents is not showing up when I print out my document.

Hi Bob,
I tried your suggestions - none of them solved the problem. The shading is in a Word document, in a text box. Shading does print out in Excel, so it's not a printer problem. I tried copying the document into a new document in case the old one was corrupt. That didn't work either. Any more suggestions? Thanks very much!

Text box fill is not the same thing as shading. Make sure you have "Drawing
objects" checked on the Print tab of Tools | Options. -- Suzanne S.
