Highlighting text in white
Is it possible to highlight text in white, so that a piece of black text on
a blue background is highlighted with white. White is not one of the options on my version of Word (2002). Thanks. |

Highlighting text in white
You can change the font color to white, but white is not an available
highlight color. -- Suzanne S.

What matters is whether your printer can print in white. Most printers just
don't print anything as they assume the paper is white. -- Enjoy, Tony "Ahoyhoy" wrote in message ... Is it possible to highlight text in white, so that a piece of black text on a blue background is highlighted with white. White is not one of the options on my version of Word (2002). Thanks. |

What I want is for the blue background to have white space in which the text sits, and I had hoped that highlighting in white would be the easiest way to achieve this. I realise the reason that Microsoft don't include white as a highlighting option as most printing is done on white paper, but with the huge increase in colour printing where you might have a text box, say, with a coloured background containing black text, the option to then highlight part of that text in white would be extremely useful. It's about time Microsoft provided this option. |

Highlighting text in white
You can always submit your suggestions to Microsoft via the following
newsgroup link. Subscribers vote for the most beneficial suggestions and Microsoft expresses interest in those that offer the most potential. http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...ype=suggestion Since Microsoft gets over a thousand suggestions a month, don't expect Microsoft to personally respond to a suggestion, and don't expect Microsoft to adopt a suggestion in its very next release of a product. It takes time to process suggestions, write implementation code, to test, to document, and to integrate new features. "Ahoyhoy" wrote in message ... "Ahoyhoy" wrote in message ...

Highlighting text in white
Okay, this can be done. Apply blue shading to your paragraph or table cell,
then white (Clear) shading to your text. When you apply blue shading to the paragraph/cell, the Automatic font color switches to white, so you'll have to select the text and format it explicitly as black. You cannot control the amount of white around the text, but you can control how much blue there is if you also apply a blue border and use the Border Options to increase the distance from text. -- Suzanne S.
