Transparent AutoShapes or transparency patterns do not print as expected in Office XP programs, in Office 2003 programs, and in 2007 Office programs
When you use a 2007 Microsoft Office program, a Microsoft Office 2003 program, or a Microsoft Office XP program to print a document that contains overlapping transparent AutoShapes or transparency patterns, the AutoShapes do not print the same way every time.
For
example, when you print transparent AutoShapes that overlap, the printed output
may:
- Print a different way every time
- Print differently from what appears on the
screen
- Print with no transparency for the overlapping sections of
the AutoShapes
This behavior is by design.
By default, the transparent shape
is rotated when it prints to prevent background shapes from disappearing and
not printing.
To work around this behavior, copy the selected transparent
objects as a group, and then paste the group as a picture or as a
bitmap.
For example, click
Paste Special on the
Edit menu, and then either click
Picture (Windows Metafile) or click
Bitmap.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
