Default Word 2002 Printing: Some text boxes do not print.

Hi Chungacs,

As Graham points out the Blok F text box has picked up a 'linked text box' attribute that appears to be linking to itself, that is a
buglet with the text boxes and does corrupt the document.

You may be able to simply resave the file to a new file name after following the steps Graham found (right click on the text box and
break the link), but you may also want to use File=Save As Single Page Web page, close the file, reopen it and resave as a .doc
file.

For Word 2002 that can sometimes remove the little odd bits.

As Suzanne pointed out, with Word 2002 you can use the tables without the text boxes, but one thing that you may want to consider is
replacing the 'tight' text wrapping on the text boxes with 'in front of text'. Word is working pretty hard with trying to maintain
the positions of the boxes using 'tight' when they all come together or overlap.

I am drawing a school plan in a Word document where i use text boxes to hold
different blocks of classrooms. For eg, Block A has 3 floors of classrooms,
so i insert 3 rows of cells to represent the classrooms into a text box. I
then format the text boxes to have no fill and no line, so only the block of
classroms show up.

After drawing all the blocks i then position them in the correct layout of
the school plan. Pls see the attached file. 'Print preview' shows all is
well - all the blocks (text boxes) show up nice and good in their correct
positions. But the printout shows one block missing, and it is always the
same block at the top of the page which does not print out. I tried printing
with another printer and it is the same.

Can anyone help me figure ou what i did wrong? TIA
