  • 1. changing the shadow color on page borders
    I a not sure you can so as a workaround, set your shading to white rather than 'No Fill'. Draw a rectangle the same size as your border and use Format Autoshape/Layout/Behind text to push it behind your text area and border and then move the rectangle to become your shadow in what ever diection you want it. Hope this helps. "gospeltruth" wrote: > I am a new word user. i need to change the shadow color on a page border. > help.
  • 2. 2003 - Can't Print Specific Graphic
    I converted a diagram from adobe to a graphic, then inserted into Word. It displays fine in Print Preview and shows in the document however when I print, it gives the unlocatable graphic 'X' usually seen on websites when the graphic is missing. I saved the pdf diagram to both .tif & .jpg. Have tried 3 diff printer models. Have verified my Tools > Options settings - other graphics print fine. The graphic was not inserted as a link. Any ideas.
  • 3. Word 2002 sp3 slow print with watermarks
    After we installed sp3 on Office XP, on documents where any time of watermark has been inserted by Format + Background + Printed Watermark, the page takes over 5 minutes to print. We have updated the printer driver (we use HP printers and use postscript - it is not an option to not use postscript). The moment I take out the watermark, it prints fine. Any suggestions?

    I want to curve 2-3 lines of text (disclaimer) around the edge of a CD label, using Word 2003. In Avery DesignPro, this is round text. I want to use Word 2003 so that my coworkers have access to the label. Any help? Thanks,

do you mean watermarks?  What version of Word are you using?

In Word 2000 ---  double click the image -- and in the Format Picture Dialog
Box -- go to the Picture Tab and in the Image Control Section --  set the
color to WATERMARK.  You may also wish to go to the Layout Tab and set it
BEHIND TEXT --- or Insert your Graphic in the first place in the
Header/Footer layer of the document.  (If you already have it in the main
document -- cut then go to the Header/Footer Layer and paste).  Either of
those options will place your text on top of your image.

If you don't mean watermark -- then what do you mean by washout?

Hi Debby,

When you insert a picture then select it, when the
picture toolbar appears one of the icons is for 'color'.

Under the color icon, one of the four choices is 'washout'
(in newer versions of Word).  All that setting does is
create a preset value under Format=>Picture=>Picture
of 85% Brightness and 15% Contrast.  You can use that
preset for a 'speedy' way to 'fade out' a picture, but
you can also use any manually selected value you choose.

If you use the Format=>Background=>Printed Watermark choice
that Kate mentioned and choose to insert a picture and check
the 'washout' setting Word applies that same preset contrast
& brightness value.

5.How do I edit a washout/watermark?

I have designated/formatted a clipart as a washout on one page of my Word 
document, behind a table. I would like to edit the washed out clipart and 
reposition it, but I can't because I can't gain access to it because it's 
behind the text. How can I gain access to the washout clipart to edit it?

Initially, I was able to change the clipart into a washout by placing it in 
the center of the table, selecting "washout" and formatted the picture to be 
placed behind the text.

I have Word 2003.

Any help will be appreciated.
