SYMPTOMS
========
 
Absolutely placed objects (APOs) will not print or preview when placed
in a label.
 
Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
 
1. Create a new Word Processor document and from the Tools menu, choose
   Envelopes & Labels.
 
2. Select the Mailing Labels tab, insert the fields on three lines and
   choose Create Label.
 
3. From the Insert menu, choose ClipArt and insert a picture.
 
4. Select the picture and from the Format menu, choose Picture.
 
5. Select the Text Wrap tab, then choose Absolute. Press ENTER.
 
6. Choose Yes to view in Page Layout.
 
7. From the File menu, choose Print Preview.
 
NOTE: The clip art picture does not appear in print preview and will not
print.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
To correct this problem, format the picture as in-line:
 
1. Follow steps 1 through 4 above.
 
2. Select the Text Wrap tab, then choose In-Line. Press ENTER.
 
3. Follow steps 6 and 7 above.
 
If the in-line object is on the first line, you can format the label
with a hanging indent, which will force the object to the left of the
text in the label.
