Thanks for the help
but the problem was a tick in the "Draft quality" box on the page set up
menu as soon as I cleared it the problem was solved
thanks for replying though

It sounds to me like you've used checkboxes from the Forms toolbar? If this
is the case, right click on each one and choose Format Control from the popup
options, then go to the Properties tab and tick the Print Object option.
