making a document print in black & white

[KatrinaNelson]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Hi,
I am printing to a Canon MP190 printer which has the capability of printing in colour and black and white, but sometimes I only want it to print documents in black and white (even if they contain colour). How can I force it to print documents in black & white? Is the solution similar for other Office for Mac products, such as Powerpoint or Excel for example?

Many thanks for your assistance
Katrina

That is usually an option on the Printer dialog. I believe it's
provided by the printer drivers.

If document is a word document try the following:

Open Document and select entire Document:
then:

Format menu > Fonts
Click More Colors as show here:

Next when this menu opens choose this tab as show in this shot:

Choose Black.

Click Okay, then Okay again to get out of all menus

All font colors should turn to Black

If you want to save the document under another Name.

not make sure when you save document that you do not save changes in in
"normal" (template used to start all documents when you use word.)

To ensure the ability go to Word Preferences

Click on save as shown here:http://screencast.com/t/ZjIwNzA3ZmUt

and make sure the item I have highlighted with the arrow is check before
quitting without saving document, or saving document and quitting.

When you dismiss the document after saying it should ask you if you wish
to save changes in normal choose "no".

I've checked in my printer and there is no way to set to print B&W only.
The only other way is to scan document save as a *jpeg* image Then use
"Graphic Converter to convert to B&W or Gray scale then Print it out.
