Graphics not printing in Word Document

[Mayacat]

We have a repeated problem that we are unable to solve.

We have a Vista Windows system. I am using Office Word 2007 and have saved
documents so they are compatible with Word 97-2003.

Part of the graphics such as Word Art, Text boxes and Text Box borders do
not print.

What settings may be incorrect? I cannot find the associated menus and tabs
that the help sections describe.

I can save the documents on a disc, transfer to another computer and they
print just fine using a wireless connection to the same printer. It is a
hassle to transfer every document that I want to print.

Go to Office button > Word Options > Display. Under "Printing options", check

Hi Mayacat,

What printer make/model is the one you're having a problem with?

Is it all documents or only specific ones?

Do these items appear in Print=>Preview?

If you print or save to PDF printer do the items print?

Is the printer driver installed locally on the problem computer?

When the items do not print is the space for them still there in the printou?

Are you using any Addins/3rd party software on the problem PC?

In Office Button=>Word Options=>Advanced=>Print
are 'Draft Quality' and 'Print in Background turned off?

Hi Mayacat,

What printer make/model is the one you're having a problem with?

hp business inkjet 1200wn, however it doesn't seem to be a problem with the
printer. I can copy the files to a disc and transfer them to my laptop and
the documents print beautifully. I have updated the printer drivers. It seems
to be a setting on the desktop computer.

Is it all documents or only specific ones?

All documents with graphics.

Do these items appear in Print=>Preview?

Yes, the preview shows all details

If you print or save to PDF printer do the items print?

The graphics do not print

Is the printer driver installed locally on the problem computer?

I think so. I am not surewhat you mean.

When the items do not print is the space for them still there in the printou?
Yes

Are you using any Addins/3rd party software on the problem PC?
No


In Office Button=>Word Options=>Advanced=>Print
are 'Draft Quality' and 'Print in Background turned off?

I don't have that sequence available from the office button. There is no
Word Options choice. I can get there with the print menu and draft quality
and print in background are turned off.
