Thread Name: Tech: Negative Image in MS Word
Subject: RE: Tech: Negative Image in MS Word
Helen was almost correct. The problem is back!
We now notice some interesting things about the image. First, it prints out just fine. It's a picture of a concrete bridge which is mostly gray and the background is almost entirely green foliage. And, by the way, it's on a page by itself except for a short (less than one line) caption at the bottom of the page, several lines below the picture.
On the screen, the image is not actually negative. It's almost entirely bright green with occasional splotches of magenta which are vaguely reminiscent of the shape of the bridge.
In print preview, the image is not exactly negative either. The bridge is bright green as is the foliage below the bridge. Above the bridge, however, the foliage is kind of a dark red, definitely not magenta.
Neither the screen image or the print preview image is exactly like the printed image with the colors changed. The print preview image is recognizable as a bridge but the screen image isn't recognizable as anything.
And no, we haven't been drinking or smoking or injecting anything strange.
