Watermark not printing correctly

I'm completely puzzled by this.

I have a watermark picture. But when I print my doc out, it only prints out the top part.

Print preview shows the entire picture though.

If I open a blank doc and use the watermark, it prints fine. So I discovered it's my actual document that's the problem.

The problem that's causing this is a text box that's at the top of the document (not covering the watermark at all). If I delete it, it's prints correctly.
But if a leave it in, or place it anywhere on the doc, then the watermark isn't fully printed. The same portion of the watermark is printed no matter where I place it too.

I've used a default preset shape style (subtle effect, orange accent 6) which includes a shadow. I've discovered if I don't use the shadow effect, the watermark is printed fully.

I don't understand why it's doing this. Is there a way around it or have I found a bug?

Tried the manual version for both the text box and watermark. No luck

The confusing part about this is the text box is at the top of the page. The watermark is in the middle. There's 3 inches of blank space between them. And it's the bottom part of the watermark that's not printing

(Don't quite undertand how the code works, it gives me an error)

I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. In the code, "WordArt 12" and "Rectangle 13" have to be changed to the names of your shapes.

To find the names of the shapes on the Active Sheet try:

Code still doesn't work
Gives error on: For Each Sh In ActiveSheet.Shapes



I tried your pdf workaround via save as pdf. The pdf shows exactly what is printed, still missing the bottom of the watermark logo (so I guess it's not a printer problem)

I've also tried repairing office. No change unfortunately.

I've noticed it never shows the full watermark when you save to pdf.

But only doesn't show the full watermark if the text box has a shadow effect applied for when printing

I can most certainly live without the shadow effect, but I was just trying find out what I was doing wrong. I guess it's just a bug.


I've attached the file (without any sensitive data) if you fancy having a go.

Glad to find it wasn't something that I'd done wrong

Thanks for everything
