The information in this article applies to:
 * Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 3.0, 3.01, 3.02, 4.0, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.1a

SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, text formatted in color will print in grayscale if you choose the Color/Grayscale option in the Print command if you have a Print Driver version 6.0 or later.

Shading is available in Word 5.0 in the Format Borders dialog, and can be accomplished in Word 4.0 by embedding PostScript commands within the document.

To match the gray level, or percentage gray of the shading with that of the text, or to predict the percentage gray colored text will print, refer to the table below. This table is based on results generated with the LaserWriter IINTX.

Color  Percent gray Black        100.0 Blue          90.0 Red           70.0 Magenta       62.5 Green         45.0 Cyan          30.0 Yellow        12.5 White          0.0 For more information on Print Options, see page 115 in the Microsoft Word 5.0 User's Guide and page 131 Macintosh Reference System 7.0
