- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh 6.0.1
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh 6.0.1a
This article was previously published under Q127093 SYMPTOMS
When you choose the "Blue Background, White Text" option, Word uses orange
as the highlight color, instead of the highlight color you selected. (To
locate this option, click Options on the Tools menu, and select the
General tab.)
CAUSE
If your monitor supports 256 colors or more, this problem happens when the
Color Control Panel is set below 256 colors.
If your monitor supports only 256 colors, this happens by design. Orange is
the most visible highlight color available for a blue background.
RESOLUTION
If the selection is available, set the Color Control Panel to anything
higher than 256 colors.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for
Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
