Filling a box or a cell on a table MAC word 2007
I go to fill the box with a gray color so I select fillmore colors and I
want a pure gray made from black so I use the CMYK slider and move everything to 0% but the black I more to 20 or 30%. Select ok and send the page to print and it is coming up as a color copy and it has a pinkish tint to the gray. I go back and check the gray box and the slides have moved. Cyan is now 35%, Magenta is 27%, Yellow is 25% and Black is 0%. How do it get the pure gray color to stick and not change on me? I've looked under options, preferences and I can't find anything to fix that. |

Filling a box or a cell on a table MAC word 2007
(Mac Word 2008)
Not an expert in this area, but... According to its file specs., Word only works with RGB colours internally. (CMYK is not even mentioned in the file format specs.) Because Mac Word uses the Mac Colour selector, you get several options including CMYK, but as far as I can tell, Word converts to RGB immediately. So (a) you can't use or retain a black-based grey as you want and (b) your only options are to choose a predefined grey or specify equal values in the RGB sliders. (BTW for Mac Word questions you may be better off posting to microsoft.public.mac.office.word, which you may be able to find at http://www.officeformac.com/ProductForums/Word/ ) -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Frugal Cat" Frugal wrote in message ...
