= SYMPTOMS =

When you print a Bob Letter Writer document, even if you use text with color formatting and print on a color printer, the text doesn’t print in color.

= CAUSE =

Bob Letter Writer does not support color printing. To print in color from Letter Writer you must use Bob WordArt.

= WORKAROUND =

To create colored text in Bob Letter Writer using WordArt, do the following:


 * 1) Choose the Add An Object squishy.
 * 2) Select Microsoft Bob WordArt 1.0.
 * 3) Type your text.
 * 4) Click Colors And Patterns.
 * 5) Select a foreground color other than black or white, and choose the green check mark button.
 * 6) Choose the green check mark button to exit the Bob WordArt balloon.

The text you created in WordArt is now printed in color on a color printer.
