Mac Forum / Applications / Word / May 2008Font color I see is black; font color in document received as attachment changes-How to fix?
My document shows the font color as black, but when I send the document as an attachment, the receiver sees it in yellow. He has a PC. Is the problem on my end with my setting, or his? Is there some setting that I need to change? We've sent documents before and I don't think it is the server, either. Well, we can eliminate everything between your copy of Word and his. It's not the transport that's doing this. It's a setting in either your Word or his, or in the document itself. To answer the question, we need to know what type of CPU you have (Intel or PPC?), what version of OS you are using (three digits please: e.g. OS 10.5.2) and which version of Word you are using (again, three digits please) Get the OS version from the Apple menu, and the Word version from the About item on the Word menu.

S33°53'34.20 E151°14'54.50 +61 4 1209 1410, mailto:john@mcghie.name I have the same problem - it started last month. Prior to that everything was fine but now when I email word documents the senders are getting yellow font. I'm having to send everything as pdfs, which is fine for finished documents but not ones that people may want to modify comment on or stick on letterheads. Its a right pain. I'm glad I'm not the only one but a solution would be great! Kristin Until you give us the version numbers of what you are using, I can't answer.

S33°53'34.20 E151°14'54.50 +61 4 1209 1410, mailto:john@mcghie.name Hello I am having the same problem. My mac for Word docs when opened on a PC are appearing in lime yellow font when what I want is blue - also cover pages generated by mac word are not appearing on their end. this is pretty serious surprised a solution has not been found. I just bought this computer it is the small of the two imacs not an intel processor - sorry i am not a tech person. Hi - I have the same problem. I'm an English copywriter with international clients, and I'm getting funny comments about my "yellow" text at their end. On my end, (MacPro Quad 2.66, 10.5.2, Office 2008 12.0.0) it looks fine. At their end (Windows/PC Office), occasional yellow text. I've just been able to repeat it here by saving the Word .docx file to Word 97 version and then opening it on my MacBook which is still running Office 2004. Yellow text in some places! So I thought I'd be clever and re-save from the .docx version on the MacPro,having FIRST highlighted all text and selected black text colour from the Toolbox. This time, opening the file again in Word 2004 on the laptop, everything's gone yellow. Oh, and in the process it's flipped my client's logo (embedded in the document) 180 degrees vertically.... Help! what font are you using? can you try the corrupt document fixes here on a problem doc, and see if any of them fix anything? http://word.mvps.org/Mac/DocumentCorruption.html > Hi - I have the same problem.

Microsoft is having a hard time reproducing the problem. If you could email that one to john@mcghie.name in a Zip file, I would be much obliged.

I am currently at Microsoft, so it would be good to have a document I can point to and say "See? It's broken!!" Please include as much detail as possible about how you got the document into that condition in the email.

John McGhie, Microsoft MVP, Word and Word:Mac Sydney, Australia. mailto:john@mcghie.name I have experienced the same problem, but have identified what *might* be the cause. It seems that when I change the font colour to black, as opposed to selecting Automatic (which is also black), my clients receive the documents with yellow text. Changing back to Auto seems to fix the problem. Keir Wells Many thanks for giving us that valuable feedback, Keir!

Not in the next service release, probably in the one after...

John McGhie, Microsoft MVP, Word and Word:Mac Nhulunbuy, NT, Australia. mailto:john@mcghie.name Just a quick follow up with this particular issue. Yep, John, you were spot on. MS didn't come through with a fix with the latest SP. Bummer, man. Anyway, if you want to verify that your document will not display the Yellow Peril Font (we have to give it a name, after all...and I lay claim to this one), view the document in Finder with Cover Flow turned on. Cover Flow doesn't understand themes either, so it'll show yellow if it's no good. Hope this helps some people avoid the problem while we're waiting for the fix which will hopefully be really, really, really soon :-) Gotta love Macs...Keir Wells Hi Keir: Yes, I knew for certain that the fix wasn't in 12.1.0 because that locked off for testing before we got a good repro case for the Yellow Peril Font... I personally demonstrated it to the Microsoft Test Engineer while we were in Redmond last month. They assigned it to a developer that day, but it could never have made the first Service Release, because that had locked off that week. The only thing still open for change was the damned Installer, which was still giving them grief :-) Cheers On 19/05/08 10:25 AM, in article ee8fd19.15@webcrossing.caR9absDaxw, > Just a quick follow up with this particular issue.
