MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / September 2004Screen and character colors!
All I want is to be able to type my letters and reports on a blue background with white characters. Then to be able to see them in "print preview" and print them like I used to with Word 97. For some reason that is proving very difficult. Can you offer a simple solution! Thanks! Triip Have you tried the "Blue background, white text" setting on the General tab of Tools | Options?

Thanks! > Triip Yes, Suzanne, I have tried that. It changes my screen to blue and my characters to white - fine. But when I type something and go to "print preview" (where the screen is white by default) it is as if the white characters are lost -- white on white and you can not see them! Thanks for taking a stab at this. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

What I'm seeing is that Normal and Print Layout views show black text as white (other colors don't change), and Print Preview shows all font colors as they should be. Do you have the font color for Normal style set to Automatic rather than black or white? SignatureSuzanne S.
