Default Weird problem with section breaks and printing

Sorry. Out of ideas. Maybe someone else?

Nope.
1) Didn't work.
2) a) Didn't work
b) Deleted lots of useful formatting and didn't work either (the
link you gave mentioned "Save as Web Page" rather than "Save as Web
Page (Filtered) option, but I only had the former to choose from
anyway (am on Word 2003))
3) Haven't tried this as it's happening on more than one computer and
only on this page, so unlikely to be the printer driver and therefore
not grounds to convice the guys it should be reinstalled.

Have emailed it to myself at home and will see what happens to it on
my printer. Spent enough time on this, so if that doesn't produce a
better result will give up, and people will just have to be happy with
a PDF version, which prints out fine.

Thanks for trying Daiya.

Huh. No idea. More guesses:

1) you could try deleting and re-creating a fresh section break (perhaps
on a copy of the doc):

2) If it's just this document, you could try the corrupt document fixes
on a copy of the doc:

a) copy the entire thing, *excluding* the last paragraph mark, into a new
document. That last paragraph mark holds a lot of information which can
get corrupted, and copying the text into a document with a fresh one
keeps your formatting, but can fix some glitches. A paragraph mark is a
¶. Click on ¶ on the standard toolbar to show nonprinting characters,
including paragraph marks.

b) the Save as Webpage and Back as described hehttp://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm

3) Standard practice in such situations would be to check the website of
the printer manufacturer for an updated printer *driver* (I left that
word out earlier) and install it. The existing driver may have gone
crazy--try reinstalling the printer driver even if a newer one does not
exist.
