1. Graphics won't print to specific printers...
...Using Word XP with Windows 2k. I have a 10 page (or thereabouts) document with a .jpeg on the cover. When printing to one specific printer (a networked HP inkjet), the picture doesn't print. OK when printing to a laser (B/W or colour). Any ideas please?
2. Error! Not a valid embedded object.
Every time I insert a picture from clipart or one from Microsoft Clips Online I get the above message on my document. Now when I log on as the administrator it works fine but when I log on as myself it doesn't. I'm running a Windows XP Professional machine on a Windows Server 2003 network. My profile is setup as a power user. Hope I've given all the necessary info.
3. How to draw on screen??
Is there some drawing software that lets you draw simple lines on where ever you want (web pages,open windows etc...)
4. Insert Picture gets too big
Hi: I use Word 2003. When I go to insert object/Microsoft work picture, everything works fine. The new work window opens ok. The image is there at the right resolution. But when I add an arrow or call out box or any writing below the image and close the window, the image gets really big. If I don't add anything like a call out, it's fine. Any ideas? Wayne

The only AutoSahpe Flowchart Symbol that offers a connection point anywhere 
other than on the edge is the Collate symbol. AFAIK that can't be modified. 
You might look into Visio or other flowcharting software to create your 
charts, then insert them into a Word doc.

How to make connector lines attach to the center of a shape?

Does the connector port technology (blue circles) have this capability?

1.centering line of text following shape

I'm wanting to force the text of the line following any shapes to be
centered.

My feeble attempt is below.

How can I accomplish this?

Here's a snippet:

If ActiveDocument.Shapes.Count <> 0 Then
    For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.Shapes.Count
        If left(ActiveDocument.Shapes(i).name, 4) = "PICT" _
        Then
          ActiveDocument.Shapes(i).Select
          Selection.HomeKey unit:=wdLine
          With Selection.Paragraphs
           .Alignment = wdAlignParagraphCenter
          End With
        End If
    Next
End If

Thanks.

3.Shape connectors don't work in Word XP

In Microsoft Word XP I wanted to create flow charts and 
connect the shapes with arrows. On the drawing toolbar, I 
clicked on AutoShapes, then pointed to Connectors, and 
then clicked on the connector line I wanted. I was rather 
perplexed to find that when I passed the pointer over the 
shapes, the connection sites (which should normally show 
up as blue circles) failed to appear.

I restared Word assuming the problem was a memory glitch. 
That didn't help. I restared the computer. That did not 
resolve the problem. I then uninstalled Office XP, turned 
off the computer, turned the computer back on, and 
reinstalled Office XP -- only to discover that the 
problem persists. Why? This should not happen.

The connector sites, however, work in Excel and Power 
Point. But never in Word.

How do I fix the problem? Is this an undocumented bug? Or 
should I upgrade to Office 2003?

4.Printing shapes (connectors)

Hello,

In any of my office applications (namely word), when I print my file it will 
print all text, but none of the autoshapes (i.e. elbow connectors, boxes, 
etc.)  It shows up in the print preview screen but doesn't translate to the 
printer.  Could it possibly be a setting in Word?  Or would it have something 
to do with my printer.  I have a HP Photosmart 8450.  HELP!

5.Shape connectors

This seemed like a great solution to ever changeing 
layouts. I have the drawing canvas on. My auto shapes are 
in and text boxes in place. I select the connector line I 
want to use the blue connector markers highlight. As I 
approach a marker and select it my drawing flashes, 
scales and flips to normal view. My darwing canvas is 
gone. If I place the connector away from a blue 
connector, I can attach it later. It moves and performs 
as expected.
