When you do this, text may be truncated. This behavior may occur when any one of the following conditions is true:  The text is contained in the EMF+ or the EMF+ dual format drawing. The text contains wildcard characters. The following table contains examples of wildcard characters.  The text is at the end of a line of text.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Print to a PCL printer
When you print an EMF+ or an EMF+ dual format drawing from a custom program in one of the Office 2003 programs that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section, print to a PCL printer instead of to a PostScript printer.

Method 2: Create an EMF-only format drawing
Use the custom program to create an EMF-only format drawing instead of an EMF+ or an EMF+ dual format drawing. Then, print the EMF-only format drawing from one of the Office 2003 programs that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
