Word 97 prints color bars instead of .jpg image.

The on screen preview shows image with 20-30 pixel height colorbars attached to the bottom of image. <br>
When document is printed, colorbars fill the image area. <br>
<br>
Thanks for your help.<br>

Without a little more information, it's hard to say exactly, but I would start with trying a different or newer printer driver for the printer you're printing to.<br>
Good Luck!<br>

I don't believe it is the machine, the printer or the document at fault as this happens on several <br>
machines with different images printing to different printers. A temporary fix happens when Word 97 <br>
and document are closed. Photoshop is reopened. Image is reopened. Image is saved as something<br>
else. Photoshop is closed. Then Word 97 is reopened. document is reopened. image is changed<br>
to new file name. This works most of the time. But the most recent time this error arose, the above<br>
fix did not work.<br>
<br>
any more guesses????<br>

I would suspect memory.<br>
<br>
By any chance does it work better with smaller .jpg files -- or right after boot with Word loaded first and Photoshop not yet run?<br>
<br>
If the smaller .jpg files work better, I would make sure that you have enough virtual memory space and sufficient memory. Photoshop and Word can both be pretty hungry on that score.<br>

Whenever working with graphics, in ANY program where the graphic doesn't appear to print properly:<br>
<br>
Go into the properties of the printer--there may be an option to print &quot;raster&quot; or &quot;vector&quot; graphics, try the one that is not selected. There is often an option to &quot;print text as graphics.&quot; Try that too, even for graphic problems.<br>
<br>
For printing from MS Office, WMF files generally, but not always, seem to do best.<br>
<br>
And, of course, keep your temp files cleaned out.
