SYMPTOMS
When you shade selected text in black background with the font color set to Automatic (on the Format menu, click Font to view the Font color list box), viewing the document in an Internet browser shows the shaded text as black background with black text.



CAUSE
This behavior is by design. The Automatic font color attribute uses the window text system color. If the Internet browser displays the system color as black, then


 * Automatic text on a black background

-and-


 * Automatic text on an Automatic background

exhibit the behavior described in the "Symptoms" section of this article.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, you can format your font color for any color other than Automatic.

To change a font color:
 * 1) Select the text to format.
 * 2) On the Format menu, click Font.
 * 3) From the Font color list box, click to select a color.
