Publisher-Color changes do not show up in Print Preview- Why not?

[Rebekka]

Hi... I have changed the color of several pictures and fonts on my business
cards and logos, but they do not show up when I select "PRINT PREVIEW." How
do I get the colors to be the ones that I have selected?

I assume you are using Pub 2007. There is a known bug, usually associated
with certain HP printers, that causes this. Change your default printer to
something else, preview it, then print it with your usual printer.

Hi, JoAnn... Thank you for your response. Yes, I am using Pub. 2007, but I
haven't even sent the objects to my printer. The image and fonts are
formatted with my comany logo colors, for example, tan and eggplant. In my
working document, they are colored to my satisfication, but when I select
"PRINT PREVIEW," the purple is black and the tan is a periwinkle blue. I've
tried saving the documents (there are 2 separate ones) and reopening them,
but they still have not adopted my color choices. I need these for
promotional advertising ASAP. Should I inquire about converting the objects
to a Microsoft Word file?

Dark colors may appear as black or dark gray when you print a publication as
CMYK or as separations in Publisher 2003 and Publisher 2007
