I don't know of any source of white or light-colored ink or toner for ordinary printers that would show up against a dark paper. There are some specialty printers that can print with solid waxy "ink" but they're quite expensive. It's possible to set text in Word to have a white foreground on a dark background, but it interprets the "white" as an area where the printer doesn't put any ink. The assumption is that the white paper will show through the openings. If you print such a page on colored paper, all you'll see is dark print against a slightly darker background. Besides that, all that background color will suck your ink cartridges dry in no time! -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

One alternative that *may* work - depending on paper color & how your printer works - is to use the *lightest* contrasting font color available, such as a very pale gray, yellow or blue.
