Printing - black areas appear

[Mark Swindell]

Thanks, Paul.

I determined that in the specific page I am printing the black areas  
are brought on by having a non-scrolling text field with the  
following conditions:

location near left margin of card
show border = true
3D = true
line width =  2

The black fills the text field, but only for the first inch or so  
from the left margin.

Changing any of the above properties/conditions makes the black go  
away and printing becomes normal.

Unfortunately, I can't recreate this on a new card, so there must be  
something peculiar about other factors in my card.  Do you still have  
the card that was printing black areas?
