printing text box gradient fill

[Ernie]

My text box with a gradient fill looks great on the screen but prints with a
solid fill color not with the gradient.

Gradient printing has always been problematic in Publisher. Create a rectangle
the size of your text box, fill it with your gradient choice, no line,
copy/paste special as an image format of your choice, put the image behind your
text box.
