Hello,
I am asking this for a friend of mine who is running Office Mac 2004
on a G5 with 10.6.2 and needing some help with printing of text boxes
and shadow.
She prints to an HP 8000 laser. The printer is an older A3 colour
that duplexes and very valuable for her business - but it just won't
talk properly to the Mac - or so it seems.
She can set up what she wants on the screen i.e. a text box with a
shadow around the outside of the text box, but when she prints the
shading is on the inside of the text box and it does not print what is
showing on the screen.
She has used Macs for many years, but kept a PC going so she could get
this feature to print properly. Now the PC has stopped and she is
searching for a solution again to get the Mac to print shadow boxes.
She knows someone else who has the same problem and they just stopped
using shading on text boxes. Sally writes training packages and it's
her preference to keep the appearance of shaded boxes.
She feels it is a printer driver issue relating to the HP8000 and has
tried running Parallels but finds it slows down her system dreadfully.
She's spent hours searching the web for a fix, with no luck and is
hoping someone has found a solution?
Is upgrading Word likely to be a solution?
Thanks
Tim
