Amanda, first what version of Word are you using? Some suggestions: * Eliminate the printer or printer driver as the problem o Trying printing to a different printer. Are your printer drivers corrupt? o Send the document to someone else and ask them to print it. Does the problem still occur? * Eliminate the template as the problem * Try a cut and paste into another document attached to a normal template and see if the result is the same. If it prints successfully attach the original template you used to the new document and see if the problem occurs. * Attach a different template to the problem document and see if the problem still occurs. * Eliminate formatting as the problem o Select all the text in the document and then Ctrl+Spacebar. This will reset all manually applied formatting, then print. o Change all the styles in the document to Normal and then try and print Mark Kofler CA Sr Technical Writer Tel: +1-610399446654 Mobile: +1-61401375219 Mark.Kofler@xxxxxx <mailto:Mark.Kofler@xxxxxx> <http://www.ca.com/> From: austechwriter-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:austechwriter-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Amanda Cat Sent: Tuesday, 1 June 2010 2:36 PM To: austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: atw: Re: Help! All text has...disappeared on Print. No, not in text boxes - in fact, no text boxes in the doc at all. I accepted all edits, I deleted all comments, I turned on Draw <EveryDamnThing> in the Printer options... The solution is going to be very simple, I'm sure. But it's sure got me stumped. Love a good challenge. :) It's printed in OpenOffice, though, so that's something. The time-dependent nature of the emergency is gone. It's a puzzler, though! Many thanks, all.

When I print or PDF it (still a form of printing), the images display, but there is NO TEXT. The odd bullet and number from a list is also displayed, but other than that, I get 70 pages of blank. I have saved it as a DOC, DOCX, RTF... I have reattached the style sheet. I have printed another document which uses the same style sheet - that prints fine. Is there some "Magic Printer Word Switch Thing(TM)" I have tripped that has disolved my text? Help!!! The Programmer is getting impatient and wants his hard copy to review and... I'm at a loss. Many thanks in advance, Amanda
