= SUMMARY =

Images scanned and brought into Word through the Clipboard may appear very dark on a color monitor but appear correctly on a black-and-white monitor or when viewed in black-and-white mode on a color monitor. These images print out perfectly, even though they appear to be too dark.

Most scanners produce an image that displays many levels of gray or color. In a scanned image, colors other than white appear as black on the screen (in black-and-white mode on a color monitor or on a black-and-white monitor).

When printed, this image prints correctly if the printer used supports either color or gray scale printing.
