Did you try that feature with an old file from your previous WORD, or with a new file generated and saved by Word 2008?
Thanks,

Life was once good when I used Quark as my WORD processor, way back then (In the 80s, Desktop Pub aps had the best Word Processors and were uncomplicated enough to be practical for simple writing. But along came progress, and the triumph of the PC, where most everyone uses WORD).
The problem (after the update) was the choosing of the text color in the
FORMAT/FONT pull down. It must be on automatic.
Believe me. I had. All of that and every single recommendation offered.
really.
moment except that doing what Curt just said and chenging the text to
"automatic" does fix it, but only if one individually highlights the text from
old files and does the changes with the text highlighted. Otherwise, the doc
remains part black on blue and part white on blue.
The way the option is constructed in the preferences, it seems to the user
that simply choosing white on blue in the prefs will display everything white
on blue. It does not.
There should be links and/or instructions in the prefs instructing the user to
change all text that one wants white to automatic if it is not.
It remains that this has only worked for me since the update (maybe causal,
maybe not). And it remains that I haven't a clue how the text in some files
was changed to black. I never instructed the application to do so. Evidently
importing it into 2008 does that, and possibly/probably other things one
doesn't know about, too.
Hours of expensive man-hours down the drain for naught.
Anyway, things may be peaceful again and I am relegated to saving every file
twice, once in 2008 format (.docx) and once to send them in 2004 format
(.doc). Something, the confusion of which I wanted to avoid.
But I do appreciate the help here and certainly don't blame anyone on these
forums.
John,
Don't get me wrong:
I have completed my life work and have only to document and write it at my
leisure. That is why I have time for these exchanges and can be somewhat epic
in my replies, etc. Ultimately, my passion at this stage of life is to "know"
(only things that interest or encroach on me), and so this thread and the
other one on formatting has in a strange way been fun.
It ultimately sets the tone for the present decade and the whole age. I see
everything in terms of what is going on....with God, which is my own personal
viewpoint. And I see us all as actors on this stage of what has been created
and of what is very much in the Ctreator's control. And Computers and modern
technology is something that had to be created and is being carried out in
ways that instruct as they go on in their seemingly bumbling ways.
To me, there is no chance in it whatsoever. And what happened was written long
ago and I/we are all just finding out what we are and what we were conceived
as doing....with absolutely no chance in it at all.
Ever very best,

As I understand and experience it, theme and variations is the thread through the part of it that is each of us.
He created a machine....the human body/mind complex (a mind mated to a body). And that machine is a part of a total art work, that demands all of its pieces. And in his role as creator of that human machine and artwork, he had to create every possible variation of that machine.
That is, IMO, what each of us is. Sorry you got the fat end of the stick. I am 5 10-11 inches and weigh 133, plus or minus a couple. I am in shape and haven't really been sick in 40 years. I guess I can't complain....although I am sure it is harder having to be thin than not.
Anyway, I look forward to what these forums are supposed to do, as we all find out.
