Unwanted text appears on printouts

Using Access 2000, I have several reports that look great on the screen.
When I send them to the printer, "List7:" and "List13" appears in many of the
boxes on the report. If I send it to Acrobat, the resulting pdf file does not
have the problem.

Any ideas?

Those are probably the labels attached to the controls, just
select each label and hit the Delete key.
 
Also, why would they show up when printed on an HP Printer and not show up
when printed to Acrobat?

I am mystified.

Thanks again,

It sounds like you missed some labels. Are you sure you
selected them properly? It can be difficult when the have
other controls on top of them. Try looking for them in the
objects drop down list on thereport design design toolbar.
Another way is to click on qany control and keep hitting the
Tab key until the mystery controls are selected.

Why they show up sometimes and not others probably depends
on whether the different drivers deal with a solid white
background as an overwrite or t transparent.
 
Marshall, you're great!

This solved the problem. You were right, there were labels hiding in the
woodworks. Getting rid of them cleaned the report perfectly.

Thanks,
