SUMMARY
If a comic balloon without a border is put on top of a colored object or background, the centers of enclosed letters in the text of the balloon appear white.

For example, if a borderless balloon containing the word "WINDOWS" (without the quotation marks) is placed over a colored object or background, the center of the letter 'O' is white.

Because Fine Artist uses only capital letters, this behavior occurs only with the following enclosed letters:

A B D O P Q R



RESOLUTION
To resolve the problem, change the comic balloon style to a style that has a border. To select a different style, do the following:
 * 1) In the Painting Studio document, click the Comic Balloon.
 * 2) Click the Balloon Style button in the bottom of the dialog box.
 * 3) Choose any style but the Blank style.
 * 4) Click OK.

After following these steps, text in comic balloons should display and print correctly from Fine Artist.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed at the top of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
