765703 2009-04-16 09:29:00 Can anyone tell me how to set up reverse printing in Word in Office 2007. I can get white printing on black background on my screen, but print still comes out black printing on white paper. Farmer (14827)
765704 2009-04-16 09:31:00 maybe because the printer can't print in white unless your willing to feed it black paper and fill the black cartridge with twink/white correction fluid williamF (115)
765705 2009-04-16 09:48:00 What you can do, is go into the page Header. Create a large rectangle using the shapes tool, filled in black, and with a black outline, and stretch it out to the size of the page. Then get out of the Header view mode.

Now, you can use white font, and type whatever you like. You don't need to change any printer settings or anything like that. If you print this, then it will come out with a black background (I just tried this 2 minutes ago, and it works fine on my laser printer).

765706 2009-04-16 09:49:00 Hi Farmer,

The best method is to use Text Boxes.

From the insert Menu, select Text Box.

Use the mouse to size the borders of the text box to cover the area you need in black.

Right-click the text box, and select Properties.

There are various Properties tabs.
For Background, or Fill, select black.
Select a white font in the usual manner.

Text box border can be set to None (transparent) to hide the border.

Beware however, you'll eat up tons of black ink printing this way. Additionally, if you are using an ink-jet, the sheer volume of fluid being sprayed onto the paper may make the paper swell and distort. (not a problem with a laser printer and toner)

Whichever style of printer, if you're doing a lot in black I'd suggest you select a draft mode, or toner saving mode, otherwise you'll be in the poor-house and burried under empty ink cartridges before the job is finished.

That is going to be good for the printer isn't it ..... NOT

765708 2009-04-16 21:46:00 Works straight off on my machine: Select all > Home > Paragraph Group > Shading Options - choose black. Text changes to white and the Canon iP45oo prints black with white text. You can hear the ink going down the gurglar. Scouse (83)
