Word provides two tools for helping you clean things up. This Is Microsoft’s attempt at auto-detecting the background of an image.Īs you can see, Word isn’t quite sophisticated enough to accurately pick out the background on most images. Remember to switch back to the appropriate printer before you try printing another document.Word colors the background the image in magenta everything in magenta will get removed from the image. Copy the file to a CD or memory card and hop along to the print shop. In the Print to File dialog box, specify the name and location of the file. Choose File » Print, select that printer, check the "Print to file" box, choose any other settings (for example, specify which pages to print), and click the OK button. For best results, find out which printer you'll use at the print shop, and then install the driver for that printer on your PC. What you need to do is print to a file (that is, save the print output to a file), take the file along to the print shop on a CD or memory card, and print it there. So I'm stuck unless I hike over to Kinko's in the city.

I called the local print-o-rama, and they can do it, but they don't have Word on their computers, and I can't install a copy there just to print. My supervisor wants a full-color, glossy printout about the size of a barn door of our annual report. If you set the background to black, you can leave the font color set to Automatic, and Word will automatically make the font color white so that it contrasts with the background. (The color name rectangle will show "Black" when you click the right square.) Choose "Solid (100%)" in the Style drop-down list, and click the OK button. Drag down the left margin to select the paragraphs, choose Format » Borders and Shading, click the Shading tab, and click the black square in the Fill list. You need to set the background color of the paragraphs involved to black. I've changed the font color to white, but I'm just getting white text on a white backgroundin other words, sweet flatulent alpacas.


I need to print white text against a black background.
