text boxes in word 2007

[ksksfnm]

When using a text box the text appears to be black. No matter what I do, the
text prints as white. I have also tried overlaying a shape over text and
sending the shape to the back of the text and it still prints it as though
the text were white.

If you insert a drawing, using the Shapes tool on the Insert ribbon, does that
also not print?

If so, that means you need to go to Office button > Word Options > Display and
check the box "Print drawings created in Word". That will affect both the
drawings and the text boxes (which Word considers to be a type of AutoShape).
