Printing a blank page

Can anyone help.

I am trying to print a document I have printed before with no trouble.

It is all there on the page but it prints a blank page.

I have realised the problem is because the wording is within text boxes.

Solution anyone please.

    I've tried to do this but all I've got is gobbledy gook.

    Any other suggestions.

    Do A Print screen and print that

    Or can you not just copy and paste the text into a new document.

    Also - have you tested the printer.
  • Is there ink in the printer?

    If it is a new cartridge have you removed the sealer strip from the printer head?

    Sounds basic but it happens!

    I've tried copy and paste in a new document but it's just the same.

    No it's nothing to do with the printer. If you look at print preview it shows a blank sheet.

    I have tested with other docs and they print ok. It definitely the `Text Box` that is causing the problem. If I were to get rid of the Text Box and just type the word in it would print.

    I could go for tables or borders but it is so annoying as it was fine last time I printed it.l

    Have you tried a direct copy and paste into a new document?

    Or how about creating a pdf?
