Comments Highlighting and Paqe Numbering
Could it be that the printer is out of yellow ink? In the printer set to print
in b/w or grayscale in Properties? Not sure what else to tell you. Since everything looks good on screen and in print preview, that means Word is doing what you want it to. All that's left is a printer hardware or driver problem. Cathy C wrote: Tried this at the client site and it worked wonderfully on screen and in print preview, but did not print out with any color.

Comments Highlighting and Paqe Numbering
I'll check suggested printer settings and condition.
I just tried this on my computer (MSOP 2003) and it worked fine with the exception that the shading of the comments is pink and I can't find where to change it to yellow. Do you know if this is possible? I checked Comments Text, Reference, and Subject and set them all to yellow, but this must not apply to the same style that's displayed.

The Comment Reference style is not normally displayed in the Word 2003
Styles and Formatting task pane, even when you tell it to show "All styles". Instead, tell it to show "Custom" styles, and check the box next to the Comment Reference style. Then you'll be able to modify the style. Cathy C wrote: I'll check suggested printer settings and condition.

I did this and when it shows up in the list of styles, it's yellow
highlighted. However, the reference and comments are highlighted in pink instead. "garfield-n-odie" wrote in message ...

Success! Finally. The issue was changing from Default Paragraph Font to
(underlying properties) in the Comment Reference style. This was a tough one, for sure. Thanks to all contributors. "Cathy C" wrote in message ...
