MS Office Forum / Word / Document Management / May 2008print color
I have a word document that contains some tables and some powerpoint slides. Within the table, I have color (shading) in certain cells. Same for the powerpoint slides, there are some colors in the columns. When I print the entire document from my color printer, the color piece comes out gray (not the actual color I have). But when I print individual page (file-print -current page) then the color comes out as expected. Does anyone know why this happened and what are the fixes to this problem? Thanks! From your description, it doesn't sound like something Word-specific. Have you tried to update the printer driver?

How do I do that (update the printer driver)? If it is a printer driver issue, shouldn't I be experiencing the same problem when I tried to print other documents in color? This issn't the case for me...I only have problem printing this document in color. Any other suggestions that you may have? > From your description, it doesn't sound like something Word-specific.

It *could* be some kind of document corruption. Deleting any section breaks and then copying the whole document except for the final paragraph mark (Ctrl+A, Shift+Left arrow) and pasting (Ctrl+V) into a new document might help. For more on corrupt documents, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm. SignatureStefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP > How do I do that (update the printer driver)?

Thanks! Problem still exists. I followed the steps you recommended and also other procedures as recommended from the link you provided. When a document is corrupted, do you know whether the entire document will not print in color or just the section that is corrupted will not be able to print in color? Interesting, I just noticed that I was able to print in color if I print page by page instead of the entire document. But I still would like to fix this problem since this is a huge document (60+ pages) and working document that requires frequent printing. > Well, since it affects one document only, it probably isn't the printer > driver.
