Problem with text box not printing

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Have a Word document which consists of a text box 7 x 10 inches and then several lines of text are centered in the box. When I print my document every thing prints except the top line of my box. Also I have done a print to file using the Adobe PDF Writer and I get the same results when I open the PDF file.

I can open this same documnet in Word on my PC send the document to the printer and it prints the entire box and text.

What is the name of the style you are using to format the text in the text
box?

Is the style the same for each line in the text box?

Check the paragraph properties of the paragraphs in the text box: are they
all the same?

Specifically, is the "Line Height" set to "Single". If it is set to
something else, you have disabled Word's ability to adjust the line height,
and it may not be able to print that line.

What is the setting on the inner margin of the text box? If that is too
low, it may be hiding the top line.

Sorry: There's a large number of things that could cause this condition,
without more information about how you formatted the text, it's difficult to
guess which one.

Cheers

By "top line of my box" are you referring to the first line of text in the
box or do you mean the top border of the box?

Does the non-printing content display in Print Preview?

Are Office 2008 (12.2.3) and Leopard (10.5.8) fully updated?

Have you checked the mfr's site for an updated printer driver for your Mac?
