Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: some text not printing

      What part doesn't print?  If it's always at the end, check the 
print setting to make sure it's set to print all pages.


      If that does not seem to be the problem, have you rebooted?  I 
would not expect this to change much, but it might.


      Did you try exporting it in various formats, then reimporting 
it?  If you've had it for several years, it's probably more likely in 
*.doc than any other format.  Have you tried exporting it as RTF and 
OpenOffice format plus text?


      Do you still get the problem exporting it as text, reimporting 
then printing it?  If you still get the problem, you must have some 
funny control characters that get exported with the text.  There are 
tools to scan for characters that are NOT vanilla ascii, but I'm not 
familiar with them.  Once you can get the text to print as you want, you 
need to restore formatting and anything else in the original file.  I'd 
delete all the text that does not print plus a bit more, verify that 
everything retained prints, then add back the text deleted from the 
*.txt version.  If that does not work, then I'd work from the *.txt 
version and add all the formatting, etc., a part at a time, saving 
intermediate files until you get what you want.


      "Binary search" techniques could speed this work, potentially:  
If you have one version that has the problem and another version that 
doesn't, then identify the differences and systematically try a version 
roughly half way between one that works and one that doesn't until you 
fix the problem.


      Hope this helps.
