*Color problems with fonts

J

JMorrell

This has me stumped. XP sp2, Office 08, Publisher 07, swimming with memory.

I have a text box with "red" text, 48pt (as it's supposed to be) but on the
screen the text color looks blue. When I highlight the text and try to
change it from the blue I see, the font color dialogue box tells me that it's
already red... but on the screen it shows blue! No kidding. When I print
the document, it prints red.

Now here's the strange part. I'm on a network where our tech support can
log on remotely. I had someone log on to see what I was experiencing. I had
my document up with the "red" text showing blue. He logged on and when I
clicked the “OK†permission button for his connection, my text turned red on
the screen. As soon as he logged off, the "red" text turned blue again.

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

I'd check out my video/graphics driver. Go to the manufacturer's web site of
your graphics card and look around.

Thanks for the response and sorry for my delay in responding.

With all due respect, I don't think the problem lies with the remote log on
or the video card.

All colors with All other applications look correct. They show the colors
that they are supposed to be. In fact, the other Publisher files that I've
checked are showing true colors.

I can recreate the publication - a 12 page, 40MB newsletter - but would
rather not.

So what's going on here?

My company just did a refresh of all of the computers in my office and those
people who received the new computer are having the font problem, so I have
to believe that it has something to do with the equipment because I did not
recieve a new computer and mine is fine. I am going to focus on an equipment
issue and will let you know if I find the answer.

I have discovered if the *Bluebird* color scheme is somehow removed in the
Business (Personal) Information the document colors become weird. See if
changing the color scheme helps. This only applies to Publisher 2003.
