I have created something liek a survey sheet, and i have inserted text form fields and would liek the shading of these forms to print out.
When i preview it, i can see teh shading, but when it prints, those areas are just blank, i tried formatting each box with a 10% shading fill, but this did not work.

What printer are u using?

Please check the printer's setting. Some printers have "ink-saver" settings, which reduce the usage of ink and in the process deliver an output which is not exaclty matching with the print preview.

You can also try using a higher percentage of shading. The color scheme of your printer may not be able to differenciate the shade from white.

Thankyou for your answer. i have tried making the shading darker, but it doesnt make a difference. im using a Canon BJ-265P.
i havent any trouble like this before, so i dont think it is the printer.
