Printing in CMYK

D

Daryl D

Hi,

I cannot find any information on using colours in Word 2003. Is Word based on RGB or CMYK. Other DTP packages do let you specify, but I cannot find this option. I need to be able to print in CMYK and am wondering if I need a plug-in or something similar.

Please help.

Mary,

I now understand that it is possible to insert most graphical formats into a word document. Thank you. However, my requirement is to to colour the background to my Word tables with specific Pantone CMYK Colours.

Would appreciate any advice you may have on this.

Regards,

Daryl

Hi Daryl,

Like Windows, Word is RGB based. It basically has no direct
support for using CMYK. Word's sister program, MS Office Publisher
is a DTP package and the current version (2003) has better support
for CMYK and color selections.

There is a Pantone add-in for Word and Powerpoint
(not yet updated for Office 2003)

Also,this PPTFAQ may be of some use to you in looking at
workarounds
