Hi Bob, > I have a portfolio to complete for college, and the term > Reverse Type is included. > > I have to create a document that includes, Drop Cap, > Columns, Reverse Cap etc etc from what I gather when reading up about this topic, "Reverse type" seems to mean white text on black background ... You CAN do that in Word by various means (use a frame, textbox, table cell with a dark background and use a light font color; or even format an ordinary paragraph in this manner). FWIW, if used in professional printing, I guess folks would like to use overprinting in such a scenario, something Word does not offer directly AFAIK ...
