Part of the text of an InfoPath form does not Print!

[desilva]

Hello everyone,
I am using the Infopath form for developing the XML-based data entry forms. I find it more useful because of its ability to view and edit XML documents with support for custom-defined XML schemata. The issue that I am facing is while printing the InfoPath form.!? Whenever I print I find that some part of the text of an InfoPath form does not Print !?! Please help me in solving this problem.!!

A problem may occur when you try to print or preview a Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003. Part of the text in the right margin does not print or does not appear in print preview. The right margin of the page does not appear as expected. So in such scenarios try to reinstall the application that you are working in (InfoPath 2003). Many times by reinstalling the application your problem gets fixed. Also try to install the latest driver for the printer that you are using for printing purpose. Hope that your problem gets solved by doing this.!!

When the size of the form or control is wider than the printable area of the page, right side of form controls and text in these controls may not print or appear not in print preview. This problem occurs because InfoPath uses the same HTML engine as Microsoft Internet Explorer to view and print HTML. Therefore, when you view and print forms InfoPath, you display the same behavior and limitations with the HTML engine in Internet Explorer.

To fix this issue, you can change the print mode according to landscape orientation. To change the orientation, follow these steps :

1. Displays the task pane in design mode. To do this, click Task Pane on the View menu. (The menu is in the menu bar.)
2. In the task pane, click View, then click View Properties. The dialog Display Properties window opens.
3. On the Print Settings tab, select Landscape under Orientation, then click OK.

Depending on the amount of text, you will also resize controls vertically to view all the text.
