Change the color of your font on the envelopes to black instead of
Automatic. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "caswb" wrote in message ... Using MS Word 2002, mY default setting is Black but my envelopes are always printing in Blue. It's only with the envelopes, my letters are printing in Black just fine. What can I do? TYIA |

Envelopes printing in blue? Default setting is BLACK
For reasons unknown, some printers print envelopes and other small paper
sizes using composite black (made up of the inks in the color cartridge) instead of true black. If you are running out of some of the inks, you will end up with blue, green, red, etc., envelopes. -- Suzanne S.

Envelopes printing in blue? Default setting is BLACK
Thanks once again for your reply.
It can't be this because it is printing my actual letter in black. Typed my letter and from there created my envelope. Pressed print - switched the default to black as was advised in an earlier suggestion. The letter came out black - then I put my envelope in to print and it came out in a blue. I even tried printing the "envelope" using a plain white sheet of paper but it came out in blue. This only happens on my profile - the other profile words fine - black for the letter and envelope. Both profiles are set up exactly the same. I guess there is no solution other than to hand write my envelopes. Crazy for sure. I appreciate your help in trying to fix this. "Suzanne S.

Aside from the profile issue, nothing you have said contradicts what I said:
your letter prints in black because it's not an envelope. When you print the envelope on a sheet of paper, it prints in blue because the printer thinks it's an envelope. -- Suzanne S.
