Gary, I printed one page after it was saved in Word2003 no pictures. I printed the same page from Paf5.2 and picture came out fine. I have adjusted view to normal layout etc nothing. I have WORD2003 installed (just from a Disk not the whole office thing) I have MS WORD97 on another MS Disk that I used to install on my old computer. Will it be safe to uninstall Word2003 and than reboot and install Word97 (not the whole office thing). I think I am understanding you right. Thanks for any help.

Donna -- It's a compatibility issue. We all had the problem. You can try telling Word 2003 to run in Word97 mode; might fix it. Then once you've got your report printed, you can switch it back. As Bill said, I'd hesitate to uninstall Word2003; you might not get it back.
