SYMPTOMS

If you print a publication to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet (any model) or compatible printer at 150 dots per inch (dpi) graphics resolution, any rotated text prints unrotated in a different font.

The rotated text prints correctly at 300 dpi or higher.

CAUSE

Publisher converts rotated text to graphics when it prints. Printing TrueType fonts as graphics does not work at 150 or 75 dpi graphics resolution; it only works at 300 dpi or higher.

RESOLUTION

To correctly print publications that contain rotated text, print at 300 dpi or higher. If you must print at 150 or 75 dpi resolution, create the rotated text using WordArt instead of using a text frame or table.
