Word 2003 background (fill effect) prints incorrectly-not WYSIWYG
by UmVtY28 » Fri, 24 Mar 2006 11:59:27 GMT
When a Word background "fill effect" is set via menu
format > background> fill effects > gradient >preset >fire ( from center).
It displays as 1- 2 large rectangles on the page. This is the same when
viewed from print preview.
Howvever when printing this background, it prints as large amount small
rectanges approx ( across 6 and 11 down ) . It has effectivly re-sized the
output to the printer.
This does not seem to be a printer problem as I have tested this with
different prints.
Any advice on how to fix this would be very helpful.

G'day Remco < XXXX@XXXXX.COM >,
Is said printer set to be the default? Also, I thought this feature
was mainly for web page use. If you insert a graphic in a header or
footer, and float it over the page you achieve a similar background
effect.

1.Word problem printing background fill effect - Gradient
I'm having trouble printing a document with a color gradient
background fill effect. Word does not print backgrounds by default,
so I checked the box to do so. The background prints, but
incorrectly.
The background gradient I'm using is the one that is light in the
center and darker at the left and right margins. Print preview shows
the correct gradient on the left, but the gradient light to dark is
missing on the right. I've printed to .PDF and a couple different
printers. Actual printing comes out with stripes, the gradient is
repeated six times across the document!
How can I print the color background gradient correctly?
2.Background & Fill Effects in word 2003
I have a user who is trying to add some background, fill effects. When you
select this option the "Gradient" & "Texture" tabs do not display or show any
options. The boxes are all grayed out. Can not seem to have them redisplay
the gradient's and textures so the user can choose their options.
Have tried detect & repair and looked under accessibilty option as well.
Any help would be great.
