When typing a document and inserting via autotext or letting the software use autocorrect it appears on the screen fine, it appears on the print preview screen fine but when i print it some of the autotext is left out with big blanks in the page - why? Is there a tick box somewhere i've missed??

Hi Doxiepup
Good thought.... No the fonts are the same. Its weird because i can ycreate a document using autotext on two different PC's (both using the same version of word 2002) and print both docs to the same printer, 1PC will print perfectly, the other PC misses text out - i have checked the settings under tools and options, the settings under printing and the autotext settings - they are the same on both PC's i just can't fathom it out!! Any further clues?

Is it just one document or any that you create with the same AutoText?
I'd suggest bit of maintenance first. Reinstall both the graphics and printer driver and make sure that they are up-to-date. With all applications closed, make sure that the temp folder is empty: if not delete all the contents.
Is the AutoText coming from the template the document's created from or is it residing on each users' PC? If it is on each PC, try replacing the template that holds the AutoText.
Check in Tools, Options, Compatibilty and see if the Use Printer Metrics is set ot the same for both PCs.
