printing transparency problems still

[Bruce Leavitt]

In a previous post, said publisher has problems with transp.
Would installing a new graphics card cause a problem.
I tried using the transp. on pictures, and it still gives me the problem.

It is alright till I go to print. In print preview looks fine, I haave the
printer set up to have a separate print pre view,
when it does that, you can see the picture is going to be blotchy. I have
unstalled and reinstalled the drivers, without any luck.
Would it be the printer or the program?
Trying to figure this out where I did not have the problem before. Could
their be a setting in publisher I have missed?
thanks Bruce

There is no setting you have missed. A workaround is to select whatever you
created with transparency, right-click, save as picture. I would select the .png
format. Re-insert the picture into your publication.

thanks,
just trying to find an easier way.
Would you know if I click the detect and repair, if it will just check
publisher, or all the office programs installed.
Just weird never had this problem since using publisher.

Tried png, does not seem to work.
Bmp seems to but will have to play around with it more.
first time I run into this problem

Only .png or .gif supports transparency. There are certain .tif formats that
may, I can't remember.
