Drawings/graphics don't print

[Daiya Mitchell]

I'm having a related problem but in Excel, not in Word (so far). Some
pasted graphics neither display nor print. Since this is a Word forum,
can some kind soul point me to an appropriate Excel forum where I can
get this posted? TIA.

Hi Christine:

I don't think you will have to wait too long, I think your teeth will
survive.

They're working as fast as they can on this and a few (many!) other issues.

Cheers

Thanks, John. I feel better now <grinding teeth> - I hope that these forum
discussions might accelerate the update! I will continue to pound on. What
this might mean is that I create separate pages in separate documents for the
graphics, numbered appropriately, to insert manually at repro stage, replacing
the blanked image pages (that have table of contents bookmarks for the
figures/tables) - even though it takes me back 20 years. (Yikes)

Cheers back,

Christine

I recently switched from Windows/Office 2003 to Mac/Office 2008. I love most things about my Mac except for the way Office 2008 works on it which is downright pitiful. I have hundreds of documents that were created in Windows. The graphics are mostly but not always gone in my Word documents. If I click on the blank square, copy and then do a paste special with "Word Document Object" the graphic gets pasted. I have searched the Web to find ways to see graphics in Word 2008 docs but to no avail. Someone sent a document to me today that he created on a Mac in an older version of Office. No graphics when I opened it. I opened the document in the Windows partition on my Mac and the graphics were there. I did use Windows Office 2003 to open the document. Entourage 2008 was so bad that I had to switch to Mac Mail which isn't very robust. It gets the basics done and that's about it. It was awful trying to move from Outlook to Entourage. Microsoft needs to be more customer focused and be nicer to Mac users (there are more and more Mac users out there!).

Please bring on the bug fix soon. My problem is similar to Christine's, except that I have so many textboxes & objects on the page, grouping is not a feasible option. Of interest, it was working fine a few minutes ago. Too bad word for mac can't do what Wordperfect can - reveal codes. That would be THE fix!

You can reveal the code of a Word document any time you like.

Simply make a copy of your document, change its file extension to .zip and
unzip it. All the codes are there for you to read, in plain text.
