My MSWord doc contains text & autoshapes but only text will print

[Guest]

I am trying to print an MS Word document which contains text and shapes (made
using Autoshapes). When I send the print command, the document prints but
without the shapes.

This problem seemed similar to ones I am familiar with when the thing that
won't print exceeds the margins. But in this case, the problem does not
appear to be rooted in the formatting or margins, which (I think) fall
within the allowable limits. The document appears complete in Print Preview,
but once I print it out, the shapes are all missing. I have the document set
up 'landscape' style (as opposed to portrait).

Any ideas or guidance from anyone - no matter what level your expertise -
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

Under Tools>Options>Print, is the "Drawing objects" box checked in the
"Include with Document" section of the dialog?
