Default text does not print in text box

I have one text box that the text inside will not print. I deleted the box
and created a new one, and it still will not print. If I copy the text box
to a new document or to a different page in the same document, it will print.
My project is due today, and I really need help! Thank you for any
assistance.

On the Print tab of Tools | Options, make sure you have "Drawing objects"
checked.

It is. All of the other text boxes print perfectly, as this one does if I
move it to another page.

HI granifty ,

This is just to see if the text prints on that screen.

Please select the text on the text box and go to the print window.
YOu will have an option SELECTION, please select the option and try to print.

if its a short document, the save the document as a wordpad and open it and
resave it as word document and try to print.

Regards,
Ashok

The document is 79 pages, so saving it as txt and then back to doc is not an
option. I finally removed the text box and just formatted the text to appear
as if it was in a text box using borders.

If anyone has any other ideas, I'm happy to listen. I'm through with this
document for another six months or so, so there's no hurry!

Thanks to all!

Text boxes are not in the text plane of the document and frequently cause
problems, especially if fields are inserted in them. Convert the text box to
a frame and see if that fixes it. Tables also provide a better means of
carrying boxed texts.
