Writer: Pattern-Filled Word Shapes Don't Print (118931)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Creative Writer
- Microsoft Creative Writer for Windows 1.1
- Microsoft Creative Writer for Windows 1.1a
This article was previously published under Q118931 SYMPTOMS
When you print to a STAR NX 2420 Rainbow printer, solid-color fills in
spletters print correctly. (Spletters are word shapes created using the
Word Shape tool. This is similar to WordArt in other Microsoft
applications.) However, if you apply a pattern to the fill, the letter
outlines print, but there is no color or pattern. Letters appear
transparent so that an applied shadow will show through the letters when
printed.
CAUSE
This problem occurs using the STAR driver version 1.2, or an Epson LQ-860
emulation using driver version 2.11. There is no known resolution to this
problem.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Creative Writer version
1.0, 1.1 and 1.1a for Windows. We are researching this problem and will
post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
Pattern-filled spletters print properly from Microsoft Fine Artist to the
STAR NX 2420 Rainbow. Pattern-filled WordArt objects print correctly from
other Microsoft applications to the STAR NX 2420 Rainbow.
