Well done Daniel. This is a good suggestion to a problem that was
puzzling me. I couldn't think of a sensible answer, but if Sev's system
uses (or replaces) a document font which doesn't have a printable
version, then this could be the solution.
If Daniel's idea is correct, I would suspect that the section of the
table which prints properly will use a different font than that which
doesn't.
Season's greetings

Hi Severin
Just as something different,...have you tried selecting the whole
spreadsheet and selecting a different font.
Then see how it goes as a pdf and/or printing.
Kind regards
Daniel

Hi Ronni
from any view the numbers look fine on screen. It is only when
actually printed or saved to PDF that corruption of just a few
occurs. To be shelved till after Christmas.
Have a good one yourself, Ronni!

Hi Severin,
Are you printing from Layout view?
"This view shows you exactly what you'll see in the printed
document, along with nonprinting formatting marks. It uses more
system memory than normal view, but lets you see the entire layout
of your pages. Use print layout view when working on page layouts or
with tables or graphics."
Cheers,
Ronni

Thanks for the comments, Peter.
Let me emphasise the problem again.
1. The document basically a table (Word .doc from 93 PC version)
opens and displays correctly in my MS Office 2011, Word 14.3.9
2. When I print, on any of three printers, a few values, which
are calculated within Word are incorrect, some are unaffected. Non
calculated values are fine.
3. When I save as PDF from the print dialog corruption occurs as
in printing
4. If I open the document in Acrobat 11, the same corruption occurs
5. Text Edit can not open the document sensibly
6. Preview opens and prints correctly, though the setting out is
disturbed
7. If I save from Word as .rtf, then open and print from Text
Edit, the numbers are fine but once again the setting out is
disturbed.
All in all, most annoying!

I regularly receive a report in Word.doc format from someone with
a PC and Word 2003. The document is in fact a table and has some
calculations embedded in it. It displays correctly on screen but
some, not all, of the calculated cells have incorrect values in
them when printed. The same thing happens when I save as PDF so
I suspect a postscript mismatch is the culprit. Though it looks
awful it saves as .rtf correctly. I have latest MS Office and it
gets it wrong if I save as a .docx.
Most annoying, comments please!
A few ideas:
1. What happens if you open the file in something else that will
read .doc files, eg, TextEdit or Open Office or any of its clones
(NeoOffice, etc - assuming have any of the latter)?
2. Do you know the syntax of the calculations? Could you re-enter
them into your onscreen document? A bit of a nuisance but it might
work.
3. I'm also wondering if there isn't some reliance on a macro set
up which isn't available to you
Sorry I can't of more help. It does seem likely that there may be
some internal structural problems with the file.
