Is it possible to highlight text in white, so that a piece of black text
on
a blue background is highlighted with white. White is not one of the
options
on my version of Word (2002).

Thanks.

What matters is whether your printer can print in white. Most printers
just
don't print anything as they assume the paper is white.

I know that printers don't actually print white. What I want is for the blue
background to have white space in which the text sits, and I had hoped that
highlighting in white would be the easiest way to achieve this.

I realise the reason that Microsoft don't include white as a highlighting
option as most printing is done on white paper, but with the huge increase
in colour printing where you might have a text box, say, with a coloured
background containing black text, the option to then highlight part of that
text in white would be extremely useful. It's about time Microsoft provided
this option.
