Symbols in a large Technical Document 1

[annacady]

I have a user who compiles/edits technical manuals from many sources. Every once in a while, there is a problem with symbols printing out the same way they appear on screen.

This time the ? (less than or equal to) and the ? (greater than or equal to) symbols appear correct in the document and if you print a small section (less than 5 pages printed with a PostScript Driver) they print. But when you print the complete document (around 200 pages) they will not print; only a square box shows up.

I do not know how the original document that is brought into technical manual was created. I do not know if they inserted a predefined symbol or if they created their own. I have checked the font and it is regular Times Roman.

What am I missing? Is this a Word problem or could this be a video card driver that needs updating or...?

Me thinks, if it's not your printer driver then you might need to look at

Thanks so much for the information. It was not the print driver but rather a setting in the Printer Properties. Print TrueType as graphics needed to be checked. I figured it out from your good reference.
