Word: Graphics Print Lighter Than Text PSS ID Number: Q30793 Article last modified on 07-07-1993 PSS database name: M_WorD

MACINTOSH

Summary:

In Microsoft Word versions 1.00 and 1.05, graphics are always lighter than text when printing in best quality on the ImageWriter printer.

Pictures pasted in from MacPaint will always print out in standard quality, even if high quality is selected. Word prints the graphic as a screen bitmap, which is 72 dots per inch. In best quality, this appears lighter than the text.

This problem is caused by earlier versions of the ImageWriter printer driver. To work around this problem, use version 2.60 or later of the ImageWriter printer driver.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 1.00 and 1.05. This problem was corrected in Word version 3.00.
