Hi,
I just installed the latest Office v.X update (10.1.4) but am not sure if
this problem occurred before the update.
The problem is I've got a document with several tables, and some of the
cells in the rows have text needing multiple lines in the cell. When I print
them on my HP Deskjet 5550, sometimes Word decides to print the last row on
a page with the bottom line of the text in the row "truncated". It then
repeats the truncated material (not truncated this time) on the top line of
the next page.
I don't think it is a page size issue. Inadvertently the document was using
US letter paper, whereas my printer's using A4. I fixed that, and the
problem remained (with a different table, because of the reflow).
I've got a footer on each page and that's still being printed, so it isn't a
page margin problem.
Word displays the table correctly in "Page Layout" mode, ie the second line
of text in the cells are only drawn on the following page.
Printing to PDF (the built in Quartz facility, not using Acrobat 6) while
having either the HP Deskjet printer selected as current printer, or an HP
Laserjet 4050 printer selected, produces a PDF with the same problem. The
truncated text is selectable
So I don't think the problem is in the
printer driver(s).
Here's a screenshot of the problem from the PDF file (displayed in Adobe
Reader 6):

Here's what the Page Layout view shows in Word:

Can anyone suggest a remedy or workaround for this?
Cheers,
