Warren ~ Have you tried changing the heading font? I had a similar problem
with Frame where I was using Zapf Dingbat and the printer wouldn't follow
it. What I saw on the screen wouldn't print that way. I reasoned that the
printer had its own Dingbat font and was using that even though I was trying
to download the Dingbat from the computer, and apparently the printer font
file was a bit different. I used a different symbol font and the problem
went away.
