Normal word document but blank print preview?
I created a flow chart using Word last week, making full use of text boxes
and colours, and I successfully printed off a few copies of the (single-paged) document. Today, I have gone back to the same document and opened it up to print it. It appears perfectly normal on screen, when I click on print preview, all I see is a blank page (!) and so of course, this also means only a blank page prints.... Can someone please suggest what this is all about?! I know it must be a simple setting or something, but I've never encountered this before. FYI, my margins are really quite close to the actual paper edge, just in case this makes a difference somehow. It didn't last week though?! Thank you - I'd really appreciate some guidance on this. |

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

**Thank you**
That's done it! I get so frustrated when something as simple causes such a problem - I'd never have solved this without your help. Much appreciated. "Suzanne S.
