By default in Word version 6.0, the text color in graphics mode (instead of being bright white) is gray (low white) on a color display adapter such as a VGA or an EGA. By contrast, in earlier versions of Word, the text color in graphics mode is bright white. On monochrome or two-color displays, the text color in graphics mode is still bright white, as in previous versions of Word. NOTE: BRTWHITE.BAT does not change the text color to any color other than bright white. WDBF.EXE is the Word BYTEFIX utility. BRTWHITE.BAT uses this utility (WDBF.EXE) to modify your Word program file as described in the previous paragraph. To Install BRTWHITE.BAT ----------------------- Use the following instructions to copy the files from the enclosed DW0892 disk to your hard disk: 1. Exit Word. 2. Insert the DW0892 disk in your floppy disk drive. 3. At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER copy <drive>:\*.* <destination> where drive is the floppy disk drive containing the DW0892 disk and destination is the path to your Word program directory (that is, the drive and directory where your Word for MS-DOS program files reside). For example, if the DW0892 disk is in drive A, and your Word program directory is called WORD6DOS and is on drive C, type the following command: copy a:\*.* c:\word6dos To Use BRTWHITE.BAT ------------------- To use the BRTWHITE.BAT file to modify your WORD.EXE file so that the text color is bright white instead of low white in graphics mode, do the following: 1. At the MS-DOS command prompt, change to the Word program directory by typing the following and then pressing ENTER cd <destination> where <destination> is the path to your Word program directory. For example, if your Word program directory is called WORD6DOS and is on drive C, type the following command: cd c:\word6dos 2. At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and then press ENTER: brtwhite Next time you start Word, the text color in graphics mode will be bright white. --------------------------------------------------------------------
