How am I sure that my foreground is connected to my background!

[Jenny]

I have a huge problem to get my background to be printed out. After
reading a message here I found out that I needed to explicitly state a
page as a background ( I did that and saved this background with a
light grey colur), after that I went back to the page that needed
this background and opened File/Page Setup/Page properties. In the
combo for background I choosed my newly created background and then
saved. After this I was sure that the background would be printed out
properly, but no, no background color this time either! What am I
doing wrong??

I would really appreciate any help on this issue!

Regards Jenny

Your problem seems to be in the way you "saved" the
background. If you saved it as a separate file then it
will not print. A background is part of the same file as
the original drawing. Or,2) the grey background color is
too light for your printer to pick up. Try using black as
starters. 3) You should go to "Print Preview" to see
everything that will be printed. If the background
doesn't show of the preview then you've done something
wrong along the way.

Hi!
I have saved my background in the same file as my drawing, but under
another page (tab), I also changed the color to black but it is the
same problem.

To be sure that it is not a printer problem I tryed to print out an
object in the same grey or black color, this was not a problem at all,
so there are only problem when it is the background I want to print
out.

Strange enough every thing looks great when I "print preview" the
drawing, but as soon I try to print it out, the background disappear.

Any new suggestions?

Could this be a bug in Visio 2000?
