Gray over Bullets -- makes them look old
I'm using Word XP. Just recently, when I use bullets, they are shadowed
in gray. I have made sure that field shading is turned off. But I still can't get the gray shadow to go away. I'm not using the Bullets toolbar button -- I'm gonig straight into Bullets & Numbering & appyling from there, as I've been told that's better. What should I do to wash away the gray? *((( ~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Well, the button simply applies whatever bullet you last choose on that particular system. The best way to apply bullets would be to setup a bulleted style and assign it to the paragraph in question. However, for the color: You might have chosen a symbol that is actually a picture (in gray), or you might have managed to assign a color to the character used for the bullet: Format | Bullets and Numbering | Adjust (not quite sure about this, sitting in front of a non-English version at the moment), Font | Fontcolor: it should be on "Automatic".

Gray over Bullets -- makes them look old
Thanks Franz,
But the bullet is Black. There's gray shading above and below the bullet -- it's the same color of gray that shades field codes when they are visible. I am trying to set up bullet styles for my paragraphs, but I've got to get them right, first! When I print out the page, there is no gray. The black bullets print perfectly. It's just on the screen -- I'd like the gray to go away. Grecian forumla, anyone? -- *((( ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Robert M. Franz (RMF)" wrote in message ... Hi Fishy *((( wrote: I'm using Word XP.

Gray over Bullets -- makes them look old
For what it's worth, field shading does not, and can not, print. It's there
to let you know that this text (or bulllet) was produced in some clever Word way, and is not 'hard' text typed from the keyboard. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.
