SUMMARY
To create white text on a black background in WordArt, follow the steps below:


 * 1) Create or open a word-processing document or a database form.
 * 2) Move the insertion point (text cursor) to the location where you want to insert the WordArt object.
 * 3) On the Insert menu, click WordArt.
 * 4) In the Enter Your Text Here box, type your text.
 * 5) On the WordArt Format menu, click Shading.
 * 6) In the Shading box, click White/Black for the Foreground color (ignore background color).
 * 7) Click OK.

Some printers, such as the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet Series II, detect TrueType text as black. If you are using such a printer, you must select the Print TrueType As Graphics option in the Setup dialog box in the Printers section of Windows Control Panel.
