From: Confused on 15 Jun 2008 07:28 I scanned (OCR) a document with white text on black background to Microsoft Word. Is there a way to now change the text to black on white background?

It depends on how you scanned it. If you used OCR so that it is now editable text, then you need to select area with the black background and use Format Borders and Shading, Shading tab and remove the black background. If the text is formatted to Auto, then it should revert itself to black text as soon as the background goes white. If it doesn't, then select all the text and use Format, Font to select Auto Text colour. If you scanned the document into Word as a graphic object, then you cannot do the above. The best solution is to copy it into a graphics editing suite (such as the free to download Paint.NET or IrfanView) and use the Invert Colours tool. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Confused" <Confused(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:A988319D-4DEB-4A59-B0C6-F3FC8661B936(a)microsoft.com... >I scanned (OCR) a document with white text on black background to Microsoft > Word.
