Printing Themes

[Mookers]

Hi, I have Microsoft Offics X on my iMac. My iMac runs Panther OS X
with all the latest updates. My question is, how do I print a theme in
Office X? Every time I print I get a white page with mu text. I want
the background graphics in the theme to print as well.

Thanks

Hi Mookers,

Is the white page the last one that prints? If so, you probably have
invisible paragraphs on that page (from hitting the Return button). To view
them so you can delete them, turn on the Show/Hide formatting tool. That's
the symbol that looks like a backwards paragraph mark (¶). Now look at the
last page of your theme. You will see a bunch of these symbols. Just
select them and delete them all (or tab into the last one and then backspace
till they're all gone). The extra page should now disappear.

To print your graphics, open your Preferences (on the Edit menu) and click
on the Print tab. Be sure that "Drawing Objects" is checked in the "Include
with document" section.

Unfortunately, themes are a screen display only. From Help:

A theme is a set of unified design elements and color schemes for
background images, bullets, fonts, horizontal lines, and other
document elements. A theme helps you easily create professional and
well-designed documents for viewing in Word or on the Web.

Note the word "viewing". You can use watermarks to print background
images (see "Add a graphic watermark to a document" in Help).

WinWord03 (but not previous WinWord versions) can print themes. If you'd
like to see MacWord use this feature, be sure to use the Help/Feedback
on Word menu item.

Beth - do the background graphics in your Themes print? Mine don't, in
either Wordv.X or Word04, even with Drawing Objects checked (I don't
think Theme backgrounds are accessible as Drawing objects).

I know that Word03 has the option to print Theme backgrounds, but I
didn't think that MacWord did. Perhaps I just haven't figured it out?

I completely misunderstood the question! I thought Mookers was a student
referring to a theme he had written . So much for an academic
background. Sorry, Mookers.

Sorry if i made a double post here. I hit submit and never seen my
thread come up so I thought it didnt work. Again Sorry if that's what
I did.

thanks for the replys from all of you. So I guess we can't print
the Themes off then. What If I saved the document with the theme as a
web page? that should give me the theme right? Then I could just print
the web page
