comes out blank. What am I doing wrong?

I have created a flow chart in VISIO 2003. When I try to print it the page

What does Print Preview show?

The Preview is blank. However, if I paste it into another program I can see
it. Any ideas? Appreciate any help.

Yikes! Just when I don't think it could be worse... Now I can't even
"paste-special" to see the flow charts.

It is always good to have a conversation with yourself - via the internet!
It has been one of those days.

Here is what I have figured out. I had originally downloaded the "trial
version" of Visio Professional from the MS web site. I created a few charts
in that version and liked it, so went out and bought Visio Standard. I
figured that I'd ever use the high end stuff from the Professional version -
OK that and the additional $200.

I installed the Standard version on my computer, expecting that I would be
able to open and modify, and yes even print the charts that I had created in
the Professional version. Ha! I have just tried to create a new chart and
it works fine. Right out of the Twlight Zone, I'm telling you! Has anyone
else had this experience and found a successful way NOT to have to re-create
the charts. Fun is fun, but hey....

Thanks for listening.

You may have set all your shapes to a layer which does not print. I am
not sure but that is a good guess.

Check the layer properties, the shapes might be on a non-printing
layer.

The download page for the trial version dos indicate that it goes into
reduced functionality mode, but the only thing indicated is

. You cannot create any new files.

. You can view existing files but you cannot modify them.

. You can print files but you cannot save them.

Is it possible that your drawing is on a background page? Background pages
will only print when they are attached to a foreground page.
