Unable to print bullets using Word 2003, but OK in Word 97?

[Guest]

Using Office 2003, I was unable to print any bullets in a Word document.
The bullets appear in the print preview and the regular document.
I subsequently opened the same document using Office 97 [Word] and printed
the document with all bullets displayed.
Is this an anomaly in Office Professional Edition 2003 version 11.5604?
Is there a workaround?

Are you on the same PC? If not, then the font you used for the bullets may
not be installed on the new PC. Otherwise, check your printer driver.

Hi Anne,
You are correct. The non-print bullets are on a WinXP_Pro system and the
"Symbol" bullet font is not TrueType.
Whereas, the printing bullets are on a Win98 system and the "Symbol" bullet
font is TrueType.
How do I add the TrueType "Symbol" font to the WinXP system which should fix
the problem?

Just copy it over to the 2003 machine, then see this article:

Hi Anne,

The problem was with the "HP LaserJet 4000 T PCL 6" printer driver --
outdated!
The driver was replaced use the HP Instant Support - Driver Check website.
To fix this type of problem required a process of elimination and patience.

Many thanks for all your help and your website reference for free fonts.
