Dear Carrie, Applause for your persistence!!!

I stopped by the office this afternoon, so I asked Gustavo, who tried exactly the same thing that you and I did. He was surprised that it didn't work, but instead of giving up like I did, he found the "Shading" option. Once he changed the shading to "No fill", everything was great - the whole thing became black letters on a white background, like it should be. So I'm going to edit Rent and should have it uploaded for admin approval later this evening. Thanks for your suggestion anyway!

And then the background color via the Background option on the Format menu? As well, hese items are generally on one of the toolbars and I think, are the letter A with colors/backgrounds interchanged. Let me know how this works.

The bad news is that a quarter of the pages are white text on a black background, instead of the usual black text on a white background. IMHO, it's harder to read white on black, so I'd like to change all those pages to black on white. I've searched Microsoft Word, but I can't figure out how to change them all, without retyping every word (not a pleasant option!). Does anyone know the command to flip the colors around? Thanks in advance for your help! Carrie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
