Hi Bob,
No, my text has not been pasted from the web.
I tried following you advice, but the result was black text on a
greyish background. Then I remembered that the print option 'print
background colours' was still on.
I unchecked it, and the result was black on white, just what I need!
Thanks for the tip!
Kind regards,
Rob.
NB
When I set the text colour to Auto, it wil be black on a blue
background, i.e. on screen it will not be acceptable.

Hi Rob,
It can depend on whether you're using a Word created HTML file or something you pasted in from the web and what result you want on
the approach you may want to take.
Under Office Button=Word Options=Advanced=Compatibility Options
you can click on [+]Layout Options to expand the tree and turn on
[x] Print colors as black on noncolor printers
If you want to preserve the layout, but change the text color, you may want to try using Ctrl+A to select all text in the document
then use Format=Font to set the color to black or 'Automatic'
If you want to use the text, but clean things up first from being a web page then the steps in these Word MVP articles may help

Yes, in Print Preview the text is white on a blue background.
In Concept, the text is white on white, i.e. invisible.
BTW, I am speaking about a HTML-file.
When I follow Terry's advice, the print is white of a greyish
background (B/W laser printer).
What I want is black print on a white page.
Kind regards,
Rob.
