Change/Revision Bars in Two Column Format
One of my customers came to me with an issue that I was unable to resolve. He
was using change bars in a two column format. The bars appeared on the screen okay but he was unable to print them to where change bars for both columns appeared on paper. My workaround was to overlay the change bars that didn't show with drawn lines. Obviously this was not an optimum solution. Is there a way to get all the change bars to print? -- tome19 |

Change/Revision Bars in Two Column Format
This could be a function of the amount of space between columns (not being
adequate to accommodate the change bars). -- Suzanne S.

Change/Revision Bars in Two Column Format
Suzanne, I think this is a bona fide bug, and I can reproduce it, using the
default 2-column layout. For instance, if you have tracked changes at the same vertical position in both columns, and you have the change bar position set to Left, you'll see one bar in the left page margin and another between the columns. This is visible in Print Layout view and in Print Preview. When the page is sent to the printer, though, only the one in the left page margin actually appears. I'm using Word 2003 SP2 and a Lexmark laser printer, but I've seen similar results on a Canon inkjet. I won't get a chance to try it on Word 2007 until this evening. I think tome19 is stuck with the workaround. At least there is one! -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. Suzanne S.
