Error Printing Documents with equations

[Luis Hirschberg]

Hey !

I am using the oldest beta (beta tester and there is a bug.
I did a paper for the university using some equations.
When i print the paper, some dont come out, even that i see them on the
screen.

I need to save it as a *.doc file, and it saves the equations as pics, but
the quality is awfull.

Known bug ?

Please consider this as a report, i know that the beta is over.
if there is a quick fix or it is fixed in official 2007 version please let
me know.

Thanks.

Hi Luis,

There are definitely some issues in the Office 2007 beta products with equations. Unfortunately there appear to be a couple in the
final product as well with the printing and one workaround is to save as a .DOC file, which converts the equations to graphics when
opened in an earlier version of Word (and they seem to get handled better there for printing as well). Some of the issues are
specific to certain printers and driver versions as well.

You may want to try using the 60 day trial of the Office 2007 release program from http://trymicrosoftoffice.com but be sure to
backup your files first (if you're using Beta2 withouth the Technical Refresh (B2TR) then the final copy of Office 2007 may not be
able to handle all of your existing .docx files, without first processing them through B2TR). The B2TR update is still available
through http://microsoft.com/downloads (search on B2TR).

When moving from the beta version to the trial copy be sure to remove all of the prior beta products from MS Office/Expression teams
including a couple you may not think of as listed here <g>
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927222/?FR=1
and the more advanced troubleshooting guide here, if that doesn't do it
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928218/en-us?FR=1

Please advise if you have the same problem after updating to the release version.

Hey !

Thank you for your help.
I downloaded the 60 day trial. and it still happens there. it also happens
when saving it as PDF with the addin (the latest version).

When saving it as a doc file, it transforms the equations as pictures, but
the quality is awfull :S.

So is there a workaround to change the quality of those pics ? maybe to PNG
instead of the low quality JPEG ?

Thanks again.
