Transparent Container Field Not Transparent

[snewcom]

I have a global container that holds two parallel lines. Behind the container is a solid color background field. The parallel lines were created in Pagemaker 5.0 on a Mac and pasted into the container. I have added a windows machine running XP and cannot correctly print from the PC. On screen the container is transparent and the lines appear as stripes against the color background. When printed from the PC to multiple printers the container loses its transparency and does not print the background color where the container is located. The printed output from the Mac is correct.
