Linked Excel tables- font colors
I have a Word document with many linked tables. When I print the document
the font color in the tables prints only in black, however, colored cells do print correctly. When viewing the document before printing the correct font colors appear in the document. The tables are linked as a Picture (Windows Metafile). Does anyone know how to fix this so the color of the font will print? |

Linked Excel tables- font colors
OK, I have seen this problem before, and the solution may seem a bit strange.
The issue is actually the printer you have selected in Excel, I presume in excel you have selected a B&W printer. Excel copies and pastes "as printed" by default. Solution: 1. Go into the Excel Slide and select a colour printer, and press close. 2. Update your links 3. Now print your document in word to the colour printer. If this does not work, try printing you table from excel the the colour printer and tell me if the font in in colour. -- Glen (TD-DTP) It''''s cold up here in Toronto... Sent Vegemite!!!!!

Your solution sounded very logical to me. It didn't solve my problem
however. I can paste and print and it works, but when I link it doesn't. The excel document does print the font in color when printed directly to the printer.
