WD2000: Gray Shading Does Not Appear Correctly in Earlier Versions of Word (220535)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q220535 SYMPTOMS
Gray shading that is applied and saved in Word 2000 may appear and print lighter or darker when the document is opened in Word 97 or Word 7.x for Windows 95.
CAUSE
Word 2000 applies true gray shading and does not require dithering. Earlier versions require dithering.
WORKAROUND
As you apply the shading in Word 2000, also select the appropriate pattern style for the shade of gray selected. This affects the display of the gray shade, but the shading now prints and appears appropriately in all three versions of Word.
