Subject:MS Word problem - font color? From:Timothy Notzon <tmno -at- DYNEGY -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 31 Mar 1999 13:14:41 -0500
I'm creating a document in MS Word 97 and cannot figure out the following:
Text boxes have been inserted, with the font color set to 25% gray. I've chosen
"order" and set them behind the existing font (Times 12pt New Roman), with the
hope that it would appear with a "watermark" effect. When I print, the text box
info. prints as black - I am unable to set the font color as desired (everything
appears as one large mass). I've picked through the help file, but cannot seem
to find any useful info. Any suggestions?
