NO COLOR IN WORD 2003

R

Ron

Ijust installed a new Epson All-In-One printer. It will not print anything
but black and white in Word 2003. In Excel 2003 it prints color just fine,
it copies and prints color and it will print color pages of the internet.
Help! Ron

Check the settings on the Print tab of Tools | Options. "Draft font" might
cause this. There is also a Compatibility Option regarding color vs.
monochrome printers, but I doubt that it's relevant.

Hi Ron,

Can you tell what exactly you are trying to print is it the picture inserted

Hi Suzanne, Thanks for your help. What I have done to test color printing is
to
"draw" 4 standard shapes (squares) and fill them with different colors to
try to print. What is also interesting is that none of these shapes show up
when I do a print preview...only the black text

Hi Saakar, thanks for the help. I made up a test print document in word
composed of black type and 3 autoshapes which are filled with the three
primary colors to test the printing. I can print the type but not the
autoshapes. In fact, when I do a print preview the colored autoshapes don't
even come up on the preview

Well, that's a different story. On the Print tab of Tools | Options, check
the box for "Drawing objects."
