Printing With Markup But No Balloons

[Larry L.]

When using Word 2004, I would like to print a document showing markup
but no balloons. Whenever I do this, the document is shrunken to
leave room for the balloons on each page (but no balloons print, as
I've elected). BTW, the Print Preview view shows the document filling
the page, but the document doesn't actually print that way. Does
anyone know of a way to have the document printed using the full page
and still show the markups?

Also, in a possibly related problem, when I print a document showing
markup but no balloons, the section breaks (continuous) cause a page
break in the printed document. Does anyone know why this may happen,
and how to prevent it?

Hi Larry:

No, sorry, as far as I know, that one's a bug we didn't get to for this time
....

In fact, if I recall, they're both bugs.

Sorry

John,

Thanks for the response. Curiously, there's several people in my
office that have very similar setups and DON'T have the same problem
printing documents with markup and no balloons. So far, we can't
figure out what is the difference between our setups that can explain
why they can print correctly, and I can't. Any thoughts?

The problem seems to be with different printers. I found that certain
printers will print the page with mark up but no balloons properly,
but others cannot. The problem could also be with the software
itself, because I have also found that with the same printer, a
document which I created in Word 2004 with mark-ups will print
properly, but not if the document with mark ups originated from a PC
or anoteher machine.
