Problem Printing Boxes in Labels -- Boxes and Text Don't Print

[Randy]

Here is the problem I have:

iMac G5
Mac OS 10.3.8
Word 2004 version 11.1
HP OfficeJet 6110xi, running print driver 2.7.2

I set up a Word document to print on labels using Data Merge, 6 per
page. Some of the text is enclosed with a border (box) around the
paragraph. It displays fine; when I do a print preview in Word it looks
fine; when I do a print preview in Preview it looks fine; but when I
actually print, all the text in the box (and the box itself)
disappears. Since much less is printing than I want, all six labels
print at the top of the page instead of where they are supposed to be.

I have tried creating a merged document and then printing it. I've also
tried taking the merged document and printing to a pdf file, then
printing that file. Always, it looks fine on screen, but when it
actually prints there is no text or boxes.

Note that I have the Drawing Objects box selected in
Preferences/Print/Include with Document.

What is going on?

Are you filling the text-boxes with tables with text? If the text boxes are
smaller than the tables IN the textbox, and the alignment IN the table is
bottom, then this problem occurs.

Try aligning the text in the center of the tables in the text boxes.
