The white text has been created to be placed on a black background, i.e. there are a few pixels around the text, gradually taking the colour from white to black.<BR><BR>I need to reverse this.

Also, if your background is black due to System Settings, you can. Once you’ve made the changes, Microsoft Word should now return to having a white background with black text, just like normal.

bw9753 is absolutely correct, the fuser in a laser printer ends up acting like a thermal printhead that's stuck 100% on, turning everything black.
