Running windows xp and cant print on word doc
Paper comes out and the photo prints but no words show.
Shows up on print preview.
Any ideas as my heads about to pop.:shoot:
 
Possibilities:

Check options under printing - File, Print, Options - should only have "Resize Letter/A4", "Background Printing" and "drawing objects" ticked - other things can give odd results in combination.

Make sure you haven't got text set to an odd colour - choose black rather than automatic to check.

Create a copy and take out the pictures and see if it prints - you may have pictures "in front of text" (option to do this is under the format option when you right click on the picture)

Create a new document with some random words in - does it print?

If so, curt and paste the original document into the new one and see how it goes. There's also the option ofg a "save as..." and rename it - this sometimes clears odd settings in documents.

Word can be weird - I do this for a living and I've got one document I can't fix - it decides to number every paragraph when I make an edit, then you undo to get back to normal and after three edits it grows from 3MB to 300MB - I have no idea why. I do a "save as...", it goes back to 3MB but the problem returns with every edit. I have no idea why
:confused:
