Subject:Images display with turquoise background in Word From:Kelley <writinglists -at- inkworkswell -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Fri, 01 Apr 2005 13:14:06 -0500
Hi,
I've already tried the Word-PC list, no joy. Searching on Google is a
nightmare of false positives.
Recently, after a reinstall of Word 98 (Win2K box), images always display
with a light
turquoise (if you're a man, you call it green :) background.
The images don't _print_ with the background, just display that way. I
couldn't find much in the Options settings. Publishing to PDF yields a
document that's displaying a thick, dashed black line where there should be
a thick, dashed royal blue line. Since what I'm after is a screenshot of
the _design_, and specifically as it appears in Word, publishing to PDF
isn't a solution! I ended working around that problem by recreating the
design in InDesign, but that was a temp. workaround. The goal is to display
this in Word for the screenshot.
Yes, yes, I know: use a graphics program to erase the background-impaired
image and import a clean one. I'm looking to avoid the time wasting steps.
Does anyone know why images display this way and if I can change it? I may
need more screenshots of a Word doc in the future and I'm pretty sure
clients aren't going to appreciate the turquoise background on their logos!
Plus, it's just durn annoying!
