My favorite head-banger is back again to haunt me! This has followed me
through several version of Word:
Every year I revise and format a concert program that is printed front and
back on a single 8 1/2 x 11 in landscape. I use two column format and
column/page breaks with a line between columns to organize the material.
The problem occurs when I use a bordered graphic in the 2nd column, first
page (the program cover) -- most of it will print in the intended column,
but a small portion of the bottom prints on the next page.
I've used a single graphic, multiple graphics and text, resized it as
"object" or "picture", played with the page layout, used blank hard-returns
or deleted them, but still the graphic splits. I know (but I've forgotten
how) that page borders can look like this, with the bottom border not
printing or printing on a the next page, so I removed all semblance of "page
borders" and incorporated a built-up graphic (as a .jpg, .gif, .png... you
name it...).
But, still, the problem exists. What's even more frustrating, it only shows
up when I print. Neither "Page View" nor "Print Layout" shows any such
problem; there are no mysterious page numbers or added sections (this
document is only one section). I waste a lot of paper trying to solve this
mystery.
Currently using Word XP with all updates and service packages -- no matter!
the problem has followed me around like my shadow throughout earlier
versions!
