SYMPTOMS
When printing a banner created in Publisher, you may notice characters missing from the printed output.

NOTE: This problem does not occur if you create the text on your banner using a WordArt frame instead of a text or table frame.



CAUSE
Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet (and compatible) printers cannot split characters between separate sheets of paper, although this ability is often needed when printing a banner.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use TrueType fonts, and select the Print TrueType As Graphics check box in the Tile Printing Options dialog box.

The Print TrueType As Graphics option is available when you use a printer driver for the HP LaserJet or a compatible printer that emulates the HP LaserJet printers.

For more information about The Print TrueType As Graphics option see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
