color my font please
I am using MS Office publisher 2003 to create a newsletter. I am using
lines, text boxes and objects that I have used the fill option to pick a certain green. Some of my text is using the same green. On the computer screen both font and objects look to be the same green. I used the standard colors in both font and fill When I convert the newsletter to a pdf - both are the same green on the computer screen When I print either the publisher copy or the pdf the font turns to a darker green - SO where they both appeared to be grass green on the computer - in print the font is kelly green and the graphic is the correct grass green why is one different than the other and how do I change the printed font to the correct color? |

color my font please
I am using a laser printer and like I stated the graphics, objects, lines and
text boxes print the right color of green, it is the font that does not. I would be ok - if only the graphics and text would print the same color Unfortunately I am too far into the format of the 8 page newsletter to change font and then have to go and re-format everything "Mary Sauer" wrote: It will be how your printer is rendering the color. I don't think you can get absolutely true colors with desk top printers. You might try some calibrations but I doubt it will help if you are already getting different results using the same fill color. Have you tried different fonts with different weights? Times will print lighter than Arial. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "newsletter boy" newsletter wrote in message ... I am using MS Office publisher 2003 to create a newsletter.

You should be able to change the font of all the body text with a small number of clicks, to adjust the font of the Body Text style. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org |

certainly that can be a discussion for another time/post/topic, perhaps I
mis-used the word "format" I wrote in response to the option of using a different font because perhaps the fonts I used were reason for the difference in color while printing. I am using Century Gothic and Arial for the bulk of my text. I swapped some of the green text for Times New Roman and it still print the wrong green color. I really need the solution to the printing color errors "Ed Bennett" wrote: newsletter boy wrote: Unfortunately I am too far into the format of the 8 page newsletter to change font and then have to go and re-format everything If this is the case then you are not setting up your publication correctly.

I created a publication with all sorts of fonts and font weight all filled with
the regular green. I have round, square and odd shaped objects as well as different type lines and arrows. It all printed correctly. Have you considered the nozzles in your printer might be partially clogged. Use a color picker, maybe you can adjust the font color manually. A free one here; it is very small. http://www.nattyware.com/pixie.html -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "newsletter boy" wrote in message ... certainly that can be a discussion for another time/post/topic, perhaps I mis-used the word "format" I wrote in response to the option of using a different font because perhaps the fonts I used were reason for the difference in color while printing.

Is there any reason why the application would print graphics and objects as RGB and text as CMYK? |
