Access Form Printing

[Mike]

Hi,

I have a form in Access 2003 which contains a few title lables. On the
screen they look fine, but when I go to print everything looks great
except the titles are garbled up and sometimes reduced to a really
small size so you can't even see it. I am very confused about why this
is happening. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

If you are trying to print a "form", consider another approach. Forms work
great to display information on-screen, and provide users and interactive
view of data, but reports in Access are specifically intended to be printed.

(and if I had to hazard a guess, maybe the text/font in those labels is not
one that the Windows printer driver knows about...?)

Forms are designed for onscreen display, not for printing. Save the Form as a
Report and print that instead.
