When Pub 2003 files are uploaded to the internet, we noticed that the tables
 do not print correctly.  For example the lines disappear.  Here's what we'v
e done so far:

1) Changed all lines to black (after hi-liting all columns and rows, click o
n Lines icon in toolbar, choose Format Table, click on grid button.

2) Used a different style of table.

3) In browser, Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, put a check mark in the bo
x "Print Background Colors and Images."

None of these have worked so far.

Since calendars tend to be printed, does anyone have suggestions on how to p
rint the separation lines between the dates?

Thanks.

printing a web page is not an exact science by any means. the browsers will
handle different things different ways. The best and most effective way to
deliver a visitor an accurate print version is to generate a pdf for
download. That's the most widely used method used online be they sites large
or small.
I recommend saving the Pub calendar as a pdf conversion and uploading that
pdf and then on the web page link to that pdf for those visitors desiring a
hard copy.
The product I use and can recommend is
http://www.xelerate.biz/index.php?cat_id=1&page_id=1
It is very easy to use, once installed you simply print from your file and
select the pdf option.

If you must pursue printing the web page from the browser I can offer to try
and make suggestions by you sending me the pub file and the url of what you
have now for review. But note that I'll test in IE 6.1, other browsers will
likely have different results.
