Comments Show In Print Preview, but do not print - Word 2007

[Smokeyham]

Hello,

I have comments in a Word 2007 document which show up on print preview
but do not print when I either send it to a physical printer, or when
PDF the document.

I do see the document's text pushed to the left, and the gray vertica
bar where the comment should be, and a [ab1] comment-indicator inserte
in the document. The only thing I can't get to print is the actua
comment!

This happens with any document I create, so I suspect there is a settin
in Word Options that needs to be changed, but I can't seem to fin
anything which works.

Any ideas??

I never use Print Preview, so I don't know whether that's relevant,
but in you Print doalog itself, threre should be a drop-down menu for
"Print What?" and one of the options is "Text with Markup." That's the
one you want to be chosen.

Not sure exactly what I did, but the problem, at least for now, seems t
have solved itself. If you are experiencing this, try turning Trac
Changes on, and also ensure that "Document Showing Markup" is choosen i
the Print Dialog box when you go to print.

I thought I had both of those already on, but perhaps not. If I find
more definitive answer I will post it here.

If you have any suggestions, please feel free to post

Glad I could help.

Hi,

I'm not sure how this ended up migrating to a thread on Reducing th
size of tables and graphs, but thank you for the suggestion! :

I think the comments aren't printed when printing the page.

Unless you choose Print What?: "Text with Markup" (which will be what
is showing if you open your print dialog with markup showing).
