text box content wont print or show in print preview

[Grumpy]

When I insert a text box and text they show on the document I am working on
but not in print preview and they do not print.

This applies to all autoshapes as well, though word art does show

In Word, click on Tools | Options | Print | check the "Drawing
objects" box | OK.

I tried this and still have same problem Box is checked. I have text in the
header and footer and two text boxes on page. Sometimes only header and
footer print, sometimes only one of the text boxes prints, sometimes the
first few lines print.

I 've checked the box as indicated. Did not help.
Text in header and footer print.
I have two text boxes on page and one prints, the other does not. sometimes
neither print or just a few lines print. It happens a lot on mac or pc.
