Hi, I have a problem printing a picture in Word 2007.  I know its not my 
printer, it has something to do with picture effects - soft edges - 50%.  
When I insert the picture, and add the effect, it shows up on my screen, it 
also shows up on the print preview screen, but when I print it only the text 
prints out. 

I have the picture behind text, but I don't think that this is the problem, 
I think it has to do with the settings on the soft edges and 50%.

Can anyone help?

If you can see the pictures in Print Preview (not Print Layout view) and 
they don't print, then this must be a printer issue. But if by "print 
preview" you meant Print Layout view, then make sure you have checked Office 
Button | Word Options | Display: Printing options: Print drawings created in 
Word (as in previous versions, "drawings" encompasses anything in the 
drawing layer, i.e., not in the text layer).
