Printout includes unknown text overlayed on existing text
I am revising a Word doc that includes 3 tabled columns of text. It looks
great on normal print view and on print preview, however when printed, the 2nd column appears to have unknown text printed/overlayed on top of the existing 2nd column text and then there is other unknown text that print to the outside of the 3 column print. It's as if there is hidden tables that are printing in addition to the existing table text. Any clues would be most helpful. Thanks, Tom |

no, it only shows up in the actual print out.

If it's not showing up in Print Preview, then it's probably not something
Word knows about. That suggests it's coming from the printer driver. Either the printer driver has gone berserk or (remote possibility) a "watermark" has been defined in the printer Properties. The latter would be worth investigating, but if that doesn't turn up anything (for example, if your printer isn't capable of creating its own watermark), and if this is happening on all documents, then I would suggest deleting and reinstalling the printer. If it's happening just on this document, then it's possible it's a rare form of corruption where something has been inserted in the document in XML. You may be able to see it by viewing the document in Web Layout view. If you can, try selecting Format | Background | No Fill (although this would not be printing unless you had that option enabled in Word 2003, in which case you'd see it in Print Preview). -- Suzanne S.
