How can I print white text on a black page?
Word 2000. I want to print captions for a photo album which has black pages. I can get close to what I want using Format/Background- black and a white Font colour but when I look at print layout view or print preview it has reverted back to a white background. Would this be the best way to do it anyway (would use a lot of black ink?). Any Suggestions?

Would this be the best way to do it anyway (would use a lot of black ink?). Any Suggestions? I don't have Word 2000 handy to check, but in later versions there are two options (in the Tools Options dialog) that you need to set: - On the View tab, check "Background colors and images" to be able to see the background on the screen. - On the Print tab, check "Background colors and images" to print the background on paper. Since the album pages are already black, you can't print directly onto those pages. Word prints "white on black" by printing black ink around the letters and letting white paper show through. I'd suggest printing your captions onto labels, which you would stick onto the album pages. That would also use a lot less ink. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

How can I print white text on a black page?
Jay has given you a good rundown on the options. Here's one mo some
inkjet printers do permit a white, gold, or silver ink cartridge to be substituted for the black cartridge. If you are lucky enough to have one of those printers, get a white cartridge and insert it, then format the text as black, and it will print white. You'll probably want to make it Bold (and fairly large) so it will be legible. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for your help. Word 2000 apparantly handles this a bit differently (using Borders and Shading) but knowing it could be done encouraged me to dig a bit deeper and I have it working now.
The labels are a good idea too. |
