Problem

Solutions: If customers would like to print white text on a black background, they can do it in one of two ways:

1.      Create a Table with 1 column and 1 row. While in Table Edit, choose 6 for Options and 4 for Shading and enter 100%. Remove all lines from around the box by choosing 3 for Lines, 7 for All and 1 for None. Then choose 3 for Lines, 8 for Shading, and 1 for On. Exit Table Edit. Press Ctrl-F8 (Font), and 5 for Print Color (if 2 for White is pressed, Reveal Codes will display the code as [COLOR:WHITE]). Finally, type the text needed within the box.

2.      Create a Graphics box with 100% shading in the Graphics Option. While in Graphics Edit (Alt-F9, 1 Create or 2 Edit) choose 9 for Edit, set your text color to white (Ctrl-F8, 5, 2), and type the text needed.

The text may not appear white on black in View Document. This can only be done on the HP LaserJet III or equivalent (not including the HP LaserJet Series II), the IBM 4019 LaserPrinter and PostScript printers.

One customer wanted only one cell shaded with the white printing and the rest of the table normal. This can be accomplished by following these steps:

1.      While in Table Edit, choose 6 for Options and 4 for Shading and enter 100%. This turns the shading to 100% for the whole table.
2.      Put the cursor in the cell the customer wants black and choose 3 for Lines, 8 for Shading and 1 for On. (Even though the shading is 100% for the whole table it does not matter unless turned on in the cell.)
3.      Exit Table Edit. The color must be turned on as white through Ctrl-F8, 5 for Print Color, and 2 for White. Then go to the next cell and reverse the color back to black through Ctrl-F8, 5 for Print Color, 1 for Black.
* You may notice in View Document a white vertical line/area on the right edge of the black inner box, but it prints OK.
