4698.0. "White text on black in ProPage" by LEDS::SKRALY (Sam Skraly, DTN 237-6347) Tue Apr 23 1991 15:11

Is there any way to produce white text on a black background in ProPage?
If not, is there another program which can do this?  I know I can use 
DPaint, but then my text will have jaggies...

Thanks,
Sam

    Sure .... create a box the size of the page and use a solid FILL
    pattern and BLACK fill ink. Then type your text using WHITE text.

Reversed type in Pro Page:

Easy.  Select the text box with the text tool (the I beam.)  Select the text 
you want to change by dragging across it or selecting all with shift F4.  
Depending upon which version you have the next step varies.  In 2.0 pull down 
the text menu and select the color you want.  Pull down the draw menu to 
select the box fill color you want.

In 1.3 the line color under the draw menu defines the text color.

That's all.
