SYMPTOMS
========
If you try to print a black text box with white text in it to a black
and white printer, the text is printed as black text on a black
background (and you cannot read it).
CAUSE
=====
When you print to a black and white printer, the Black And White box
in the Print dialog box is selected automatically. The default black
and white behavior of a black box with white text is to print black on
black.
RESOLUTION
==========
To print this object correctly, use any of the following methods.
Method 1: Clear (remove the check mark from) the Black And White check
box in the Print dialog box before you print the object.
Method 2: Change the behavior of this object so that it prints
correctly (you do not need to clear the Black And White
check box):
a. on the View menu, click Black And White.
The objects on the slide appear as they will be printed
on a black and white printer. You won't be able to
see the white text at this point.
b. Select the object or objects that should have white text.
c. Use the right mouse button to click the object and choose
Black And White on the pop-up menu.
d. Click Grayscale.
The white text is now be visible and will be printed
correctly.
