I've got a weird Word X problem. I'm laying out a new phone book for
my company with all the company extensions in it. Looks good; it's 4
columns of names and numbers, with several bolded headings scattered
throughout the columns with colored rectangles behind them to
aesthetically break up the list. They're just rectangles drawn with
the rectangle Autoshape tool on the drawing toolbar. Then the
rectangle is set to be behind the text. Looks fine on screen, and the
Print Preview looks correct. But when I print, the boxes print on TOP
of the text, obscuring it.
This only happens on Page 1. Page 2 is fine, even though it has the
same boxes and layout.
I found a workaround. If I put a page break in at the very beginning
of the document, in effect creating a blank page at the beginning, it
fixes the printing problem.
I've done everything I can think of, from deleting all of the boxes
and re-creating them, to changing the settings from "Behind Text" to
"In Front of Text" and back again. I've even messed with the document
margins a little bit just to see if that could be causing anything,
but to no avail.
I have the layout completed, but now I've just got that blank first
page so that the 2 subsequent pages will print correctly.
Any thoughts?
