It could be a number of things William. Check your printer and do a head clean/nozzle check. Check that there is sufficient black ink in the cartridge. If it's only the Word Art sections that this affects it could be worth going back in to see what the real colour setting is for that colour selection - printers make black either from just the black cartridge or by adding the colour cartridges together. Hopefully one of these (or maybe a combo) will sort your problem.
