page colour disappeared
Suddenly the black page color in all my Word7 files with a table on a black
page colour has disappeared in Print Layout view. The background is visible in Full Screen Reading view and prints out OK. This happened literally over night. Yesterday the files were normal. Today the pages are white instead of black (and the white type invisible). I haven't altered anything that I know of. I can re-establish the page colour in Print Layout view by manually selecting the page colour for each file. Can anyone please point me to a Word Options setting that can fix this? Was it an MS update that triggered this? |

Presuming you mean Word 12 and not Word 7 (which is 16 years old and never
printed background colours) try Print Options | Print background colours and images. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Tutaetoko" wrote in message ...

Yeah, I mean Word in Office 2007. "Print background colours and images" is
already selected. The page colour prints OK. The problem is that page colour is not visible on the screen in "Print Layout" view. It is visible in "Full Screen Reading" view. This is the second "out-of-the-blue" chnage in Word that I've had. The previous one (a month or so back) was in the appreance of Hyperlinks in Word files. I fixed that by checking a setting in Word Options. . . . . . I have have had a bitz of wierd issues with IE and Aero and Outlook these last couple of days. Don't know if those are related.

That is strange as normally it is that print option which controls both
whether Page Colour is printed and if it is seen in Print Preview. I suggest that you delete the printer and then reinstall it. Terry "Tutaetoko" wrote in message ...

It sure is strange Terry.
I have several printers installed for the several LANs that I operate in and selcting a different prnter it makes no difference to the screen appearance of the document . The only thing that takes the documents back to their original appearance is manually selecting the page colour for each file. I can't figure how they universally switched from having a visible page colour to not having one.
