"inverse" text in Word doc files -- request for help
Subject:"inverse" text in Word doc files -- request for help From:Julie Selman <jselman -at- TEGIC -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 7 Jan 1999 11:38:53 -0800
In our Word docs, we need single words in "inverse" video.
Scenario: [book] appears in white font on black background, in the middle
of a paragraph, to "emulate" what appears on screen.
Tried remedies: create "mini graphics" in frames (well, it was an idea)
create character style of a white font, highlight in black (this is what
I am doing, but it is lost when the doc is opened in Word 98)
Using "Borders and Shading" affects the paragraph, rather than
character...
Any other ideas?
Thank you all, in advance. Please reply to me directly, and I will post a
summary to the list.
