I have been editing a large document with several text boxes containing
pictures and everything has been printing fine. I have just deleted some
text and have re-located some of the text boxes. Now when I print all the
text boxes show up except one...and that one showed up in Print Preview!

I have already checked "Drawing Objects" in Tools/Options/Print.

Can anyone help?

Assuming the picture is positioned "In line with text" (Layout tab of Format
| Picture) make sure that line spacing is *not* set to an exact amount. You
would want it to be set to "Single."

The text box wrapping styl is "Square" and not "In line with text" as I have
regular text to the side of the box. My line spacing is also set to
"Single". So that's not the solution!

Then I'm out of ideas, unfortunately. :-(

It could be that your text objects (pictures/images) are being forced to the
back....It is annoying b/c the text box outline still appears over the
graphic...but without the actual text....

for example...I had a picture with text boxes overlayed in a drawing canvas
(someone elses handiwork) I found if I selected the graphic and
rightclick->Order->send to back....the problem was fixed....all text boxes
regained their text...

Actually...I found that the text boxes were linked....and by breaking the
forward link this was what actually fixed it...

Put the cursor before the very first letter of the document and hit enter multiple times, they will be pulled down. That's how I solved my prob same as yours.
