How to print colors as black, Word 2007
In previous versions of Word, there was a setting that caused all
text, regardless of the color in the document, to print as black on a B&W printer. Can someone tell me where they moved this option to in 2007? |

Open the Print dialog and click the Properties button next to the printer's name. In my experience, the difference is that setting the option through the Control Panel affects all programs that use the printer and is persistent between sessions. Setting it through Word's Print dialog affects only the current Word session, which is convenient when you don't want to have to remember to go back and unset the option. -- 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. |

It's in the Compatibility Options, which are at the very bottom of Office
Button | Word Options | Advanced, but I've never been sure how Word knew it was dealing with a monochrome printer. -- Suzanne S.

Seriously, though, what would that setting have to do with compatibility
between versions? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

The option in Compatibility is 'Print Colors as black on non-colour
printers'. Presumably, this is to stop the printer using greyscales to represent colours. It is the only option I have ever seen in Word itself. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Suzanne S.

The 'usual' solution to thus problem is to install your printer twice.
Rename the second occurrence as 'LaserBlack' or something obvious. Now in Word when you want to print in Black only, switch printers. You can sort of automate it by using a macro that switches printers, sends the print and then switches back to the default printer. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Sesquipedalian Sam" wrote in message ...
