Print Preview only shows in Grey Scale
Hi There,
I just got finished creating my letter head in MS Publisher 2003 and when I went to preview it using Print Preview it only shows in Grey Scale. How do I view it in color? Thanks! |

Does it print in color? Do your other publications show color in print preview? What
version Publisher? -- Mary Sauer MS MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://www.mvps.org/msauer/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Jeff" wrote in message ...

The default printer you have selected is a B&W printer only.
To preview your publication in colour, will require you to add a colour printer driver and have that set as the default printer. Mary he/she/it says 'Publisher 2003'. -- "If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there!" |

Print Preview only shows in Grey Scale
You know David, even with a black/white default printer the Publisher preview still
shows in color (At least mine does). It doesn't in many other applications however. I'm not too keen this morning. Maybe the person needs an updated driver. -- Mary Sauer MS MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://www.mvps.org/msauer/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "°°°MS°Publisher°°°" wrote in message ...

Mary if I have my mono laser printer selected, B&W preview.
If I change to the Canon colour printer or Adobe PDF I get a colour preview. Has always been like that. Different printer drivers must interact with the Publisher system differently and that is why perhaps you are seeing colour. -- "If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there!" |

Thanks for the help! I'll update my printer driver and
if that doesn't do it I'll add a color printer. The application should allow you to view your work in color regardless of what kind of printer you have connected. Go figure! Thanks again.

A small child turns to Ed, and exclaims: "Look! Look! A post from Jeff
!"... The application should allow you to view your work in color regardless of what kind of printer you have connected. Erm... Publisher *does* you allow you to view your work in colour when you're editing. It's only in Print Preview mode that the type of printer affects the publication - that's because Publisher is showing you what your document will look like when it's printed, and it knows that it won't give you colour output on a black and white printer. BTW, it doesn't matter what type of printer you have connected, only the type of printer you have specified in File Page Setup Printer and Paper. So you could install the drivers for a colour printer that you don't have, and select those to see a print preview in colour -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://www.mvps.org/the_nerd/ Before reading this message, view the disclaimer: http://mvps.org/the_nerd/disclaim.htm |
