Default MS Word Prints Blank Pages

Go to Tools/Options/Print and make sure Print Data Only for Forms is not
selected

If that isn't it, do the pages happen to have a background color? If so,
then is the font white?

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.

I have a very bizarre situation. I work from home and my boss works from
his
home in another part of the state. The majority of MS Word documents he
emails to me look perfectly fine on the screen, but when I try to print on
my
Brother HL1440 Laser they are totally blank pages.

I've tried clearing the formatting, and copying the data to a fresh
document. Still blank. It prints the correct number of pages, but they
are
totally blank.

No other documents, such as those I create from scratch, or wepages, or
printing from any other program is an issue.

If my boss emails me MS Excel files, they print fine.

Question: How can I identify any embedded controls that he may have
inadvertently set as default on his MS Word so that I can turn it off or
better yet tell him to turn it off?
