printing the AxVisio within a C# form

[genc_ ymeri at hotmail dot com]

Hi,
I'm trying to print a AxVisio embedded in a C# form and while the shapes
print fine, their texts show amazing charchteres, like being encrypted....

I used AxVisio.Document.Print() or the method which MSVisio SDK provides but
we (as a team) have the same problem with two diff printers.

Any idea ???

Thank you very much in advance,
