This is not a Word issue, repost you query in the Publisher Newsgroup and you
may get help.
Best of luck

Iris, I would suggest going to the manufacturer's web site of your printer and
look around for an updated printer driver and/or support documents. This is not
a Publisher issue.

It could also be a problem with the color calibration of your monitor. RGB
display is notoriously inaccurate for rendering color - especially those
which are not specifically within the RGB gamut. If the monitor isn't
properly calibrated the colors presented on-screen can be grossly
incorrect... And perhaps the *printer* is right after all:-)

Hi Iris

Did you ever solve this problem, I am getting the wrong colours printing in
all office programs, Yellow prints off white, Blue prints red, Red prints
orange, Purple prints blue, Orange prints pink. It is not the printer as I
have tested it as per manufacturers instructions and it prints all colours
correctly. Any ideas please

Please realize that the colors can change unless you calibrate your monitor
image to match your printer. Visit

See for
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs...lor_Management
for more information on color management. Word and Publisher are not ICC
color aware applications. If you expect to get colors printed correctly, you
need both a calibrated monitor and printer and a color managed workflow.

It would be nice if Word and Publisher had some sort of out of gamut warning
for colors based on your printer's profile or a reference printer profile
for the class of ink jet you have (its print capabilities) . It would be
nice to have color templates set up for those of use who distribute content
by the web, but expect the consumer to print it on an inexpensive ink jets.
What you find for advice in this area is the highly saturated colors do not
print well on standard ink jets. If you went here, you would see an example
of a cmyk color picker
http://tutortanith.com/charts/cmykpicker.htm

or if you went here
http://stuff.debugger-blog.net/coca/

as you chose colors , don't pick colors with high saturation. Don't pick
colors that have values over 200 for Cyan, Magenta or Yellow. It would be
nice if someone who supports people doing charts and tables and printing on
inexpensive inkjets could publish a list of colors in rgb or cmy that do not
print accurately.

Hi GMGJ,

While there aren't necessarily specific access points to ICC profiles from the Office apps, to some extent the Microsoft Office apps
since at least the 2002 series have used the GDI+ graphics engine (expanded into Windows) and it does look at graphics for an
embedded color profile for rendering the graphic in Office. Windows, in general doesn't support direct use of CMYK color models in
graphics, and Office does have to rely, for the most part, on the parameters of Windows for handing off to a printer or a web
browser.

I'm not sure how there would be one table of colors that view/print differently as there are many variables that can affect even the
perception of colors, from the brightness of the monitor, the differences in rendering colors in print vs in displays, the quality
of print and color management provided in a specific printer, the ink quality and level, the dpi rendering settings, quality vs
speed settings and even the paper type used to be completely accurate in a 'trust me' type of table
