Font color against dark font backgrounds changing to white in Word 2010

Hello.  I am a long-time Word and VBA user and have been experiencing a problem with Word 2010 wherein font colors against a dark font background color always appear, and print, as if they had been set to white.  By contrast, Word 2007 would retain
whatever font color was set for each character (whether through the standard user interface or VBA).  Has anyone else run into this problem?  Is there a fix for it?  Thanks.

Thanks for your response, Eugene.
It's x86.
I actually had set up an image of a comparison of Word 2007 vs. Word 2010, but when I've tried to include it here, a message comes up that says "Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account."
I had previously been warned that I needed to provide a phone message to "verify" my account.  I don't like giving out my phone number when it's not relevant to what I'm doing.  I'll explore to see if there are other options where I don't have
to provide private information in order to be able to post images in my messages in this forum.  (I'm not up to any harm here!)  I do think the image that I set up would be very helpful to share; it shows clearly the difference in how Word 2007 vs.
Word 2010 treat font/text color against dark font/text backgrounds.

    I think this is your font color. Have you tried changing it?
    XTerm*foreground: White
    This one is for xterm so no wonder it doesn't do anything in urxvt.

  • Flash CS5: Stage background changes to white upon export no matter what color I set it to?

    Hello,
    As the title speaks for itself, I've been running into this problem since yesterday and couldn't figure out what is wrong with flash. Normally, I like to work with black background, so my stage background is always set to black, However, when I exported to view my project, the background changes to white. I've tried to check the preferences, setups and nothing I found suspicious is causing this.
    I've tried to create a new AS 3.0 document, and still, it gives me a white background when I export to view regardless if I set the stage background to red or blue.
    I've tried restarting my computer, and yet nothing is fixing it.
    If anyone can help me figure out this problem, I'll gladly appreciate it! Thanks..

    Thanks for the wonderful quick fix simPod_, I've deleted my mm.cfg file, but somehow this isn't permanent. It should do for now except the hassle of deleting the file and restarting flash. If anyone else have a permanent solution to this, I'll gladly appreciate any responses. Thanks!

  • My Mac's background changed to white and i can't change it back

    Dear anybody,
    Yesterday I plugged in my external harddisk, and I just moving some folders from one partition to another. then in the middle of progress, it opened an error window and the external hd disappeared from my desktop icon and finder. I tried to plugged out and plugged in again but it's not recognized until I restarted it. and the process of restarting takes about 5minutes (it's not usual since I just need about 30-60secs to reboot my mac). then I logged in and my background changed to white. I thought it was missing my bg pict, then I searched for the picture and set it again as desktop background but nothing happened. it's still white. but the strange is when I press f9 or f10 button (expose), I saw the picture on my background and a lot of windows exposed, then when I click one of the window, it disappeared again, changed to white.
    so, please anybody who had ever gotten this kinda problem, help me out. Thanks for your attention!

  • Cannot change Printer Properties in Word 2010 with J6480. Properties revert to default setting

    When I attempt to change Printer Properties in Word 2010, they simply revert back to the default setting.  I am unable to use the Printer Properties within the Word 2010.  If the default is grayscale, that is all the printer will print unless I change the default setup in the Control Panel. It appears to be an incompatibility with Office 2010 software as other programs allow the change of Printer properties.

    I have the exact identical problem.  Brand new printer (HP PhotoSmart C4780) on a brand new PC (Windows 7).  I cannot access the printer properties dialog box when the PDF file has been opened in an embedded Adobe Viewer window in Internet Explorer.
    When I select [Print] from Word or Adobe Viewer, or anywhere else, I can then press the [Properties] button and it opens the printer properties just fine.
    But if I open a PDF document through Internet Explorer, clicking on that [Properties] button doesn't do anything.  No error or anything.  If I press the [Save] in the Adobe Acrobet-embedded Internet Explorer window, it too does nothing.  This leads me to think it is an Adobe Acrobat issue.  However, I have found nothing in their support forums on this topic.
    Does anyone out there have any ideas?

  • How do I revert back to the old operating system?  The new upgrade that came out totally disabled my WiFi and the default backgrounds changed to white instead of bla k.

    An upgrade was sent to my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone on 3/27/15 and it ruined my phone.  I no longer have the ability to Wi-Fi.  When I swipe the phone on there is a clicking sound and the scree goes directly to my keypad.  I want the phone to go to my home screen like it did before.  My apps that had a black background now have a white background which is impossible to see outdoors.  I want the black background back for settings, clock, and calculator.  Samsung tech support says this stuff is default with the new upgrade.  How do I revert back to the version I had before without having to put the phone back to factory settings and lose all my pictures, memos and other files I have accumulated over the last year that I have had the phone.  I am desparate.  Please help me.  Send an e-mail to (removed)

  • BI Customization-Can we change the font color in BI launchpad

    Dear All,
    I am working on BI customization and also able to implement the same as per our client needs(Logo change and BG color change).However Business expects us to change the font color Black (For example: Home & document tab font color is in black by default) to white color as the background color is dark Red.
    Can you guide/help me to change the font related things and also where to edit to reflect the changes.
    BO Version: BI 4.1.
    Please find the attachment for reference.
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards
    Palanivel

    Palanivel,
    I have found a way, in the customize.css file, go to the following entry :
    /* (8.1.2) customize module title backgorund */
    .WindowThemeinfoview .titleBG  {
        background-color: #EF6600 !important;
    Under backround-color line add : color: #yourcolor e.g.
    /* (8.1.2) customize module title backgorund */
    .WindowThemeinfoview .titleBG  {
        background-color: #EF6600 !important;
        color: #FFFFFF
    This will change your font colour from the standard blue/grey.

  • Why does my font color change when I add an image to InDesign?

    Hello, I am doing a page layout in InDesign and I am using a light blue font for my title but when I add an image from Photoshop, the font color turns dark blue. When I open the InDesign file in Adobe Acrobat, my title is still dark blue. It's only when I make a PDF of the file in Acrobat and open it in the Safari browser that the title goes back to its original light blue font. Is there something I can do to fix this? Thank you!

    Not a good idea. The flattened PSD has lost all its layers, adjustments, and effects. I hope you don’t need to edit it or change any layer’s visibility. Either that or you now have two files to keep track of and have neutered InDesign’s Edit Original feature. Better to take Peter’s advice and place the text above the image so it is not affected by transparency flattening. If you need the text below because you want the drop shadow to interact with the text, then use Overprint Preview (View menu) or Separations Preview (Window > Output) to get a more accurate view of the text colour.

  • Change font color in Report Code causes font size to change.

    I am trying to dynamically change the font color in a report, red for negative, green for positive and blue for 0. I have created a report region and here is my code:
    select city_name,
    py_re_taxable,cy_re_taxable,
    decode(sign(re_chg),-1,'<font color="red">'||re_chg||'</font>',
    0,'<font color="blue">'||re_chg||'</font>',
    1,'<font color="green">'||re_chg||'</font>','') RE_CHG
    from rc_dashboard_recap a, lk_city_code b
    where b.tax_year = :CURRENT_TAX_YEAR
    and a.city_code = b.city_code
    and userid = :GLOBAL_USER
    order by 1
    This code works great except it overrides my css text size and shows up as a page default size. I can't seem to figure out why this happens. This also happens when I try to sum a column. I've set my font size to 11 in my css and it is calling it correctly, however with the above code, my font size shows up at 12 or so.
    I am looking at the code (view source from my page and it shows the correct class
    <td class="t3dataalta" align="right" ><font color="red">-13.98</font>
    in my css:
    td.t3dataalta{font-size:11px;padding:2px;padding-left:5px;padding-right:5px;}
    If I remove the decode statements with the font color then my font size is correct, but I need to figure out how to make the colors work.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thank You

    select city_name,

    Hi,
    To change the font color you need to either need to create a .css file for you application and within that u need to add the following lines :
    .fontcolorchange {
      font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
      background-color:#80FF80;
      border: 0px;
      color: #000;
    and then use this as follows :
    <table>
    <tr class ="fontcolorchage">
    <td>and</td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    or in the th jspDynpagen use the following tag :
    <font color="colorName">text</font>
    I think it will be helpful.
    Please reward with points if helpful.

  • IMovie '06 chapter url font color

    when making some movies i am adding url's into the chapter markers. when i play it back the font color is always blue font color against black. which makes it hard to read. how do i change this to white ?

    Hi
    Don't think it's possibly. The blue color is from some general program-code and appears in lot's
    of applications.
    If one could make it undetectably - eg mixing in invisible control letters may be this program
    would miss to track it as an www address. BUT then it wouldn't be click-able either.
    Can you change the backgroud so that the contrast would be better ?
    One can in some cases hide the url under a photo with the text in a desired color BUT I don't
    think that either is a possible way here.
    Sorry. Never seen it working here.

  • WLC AireOS 8.0 - how to set font-color for integrated webauth/weblogin?

    Hello,
    up to AireOS 7.6 I was able to set the font-color of the internal webauth/weblogin page using html-codes, for example like this:
    Headline: Welcome to our <font color="red">guest</font>-network!
    Message: You need a valid <font color="blue">user</font> to login.
    Now with AireOS 8.0 this doesn't work anymore. When I try to set a headline or message with font-tags I get "Error while setting headline." (or "...message.") when I hit apply. I have to remove the font-tag to save the weblogin page.
    #CLIWEB-6-CLIWEB_INVALID_HTML_TAGS_USED: [PA] cli_web_api.c:1748 The Customization message field has invalid html tags
    #CLIWEB-6-CLIWEB_INVALID_HTML_TAGS_USED: [PA] cli_web_api.c:1663 The Headline field has invalid html tags
    So, how can we now set different font colors/styles like in previous releases? Using external or uploading selfmade pages is not an option.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Since your using code to change the default internal portal page look, its better for you just to create a custom webauth and upload that to the WLC.  That is how I do my implementations as its easier for me to create a new page than trying to mess around with the internal page.  As you can see, Cisco can change the way things work in every version.  It might just be the fact that they no longer are allowing html code to be inserted in the default webauth/passthrough page.

  • Setting font colors

    Is there a way to set the font color so that it isn't just white or whatever the default terminal font color is. I know there is a Font class, but I don't really understand how that works, whether I do Font.color and it will change the default changes or what. Can somebody direct me to more information that I can read up on, or if they know themselves. Thank you.

    I don't think fonts apply to terminals. They apply to GUIs, documents, and similar things that support different font types. I doubt there is a way using pure Java to change the color of text in a terminal, since that sounds like something that is OS specific.
