Computer Idiocy

[debka_notion]

Should anyone have a moment to help me with a silly problem...

How the heck do you persuade a computer/printer to print in black-and-white a document that's had changes tracked so they appear in green, so that the green is black rather than white? I tried highlighting it all and making it black, and that didn't work. I tried turning the "Track changes" off. No luck. What obvious method am I missing?

One of the printer preferences should be whether to print in color or black-and-white. Probably found by choosing "Print" or "Page Preview" or "Page Setup" or "Printer Settings" or something along those lines.

Alternately, you may be able to remove the color cartridge(s) from your printer. It will then print in black-and-white.

Another silly thought just came to mind: You did try printing it out already and it actually did come out green, right? "Track changes" seems like the kind of thing where a word processor might have the feature that it's only green on screen, and won't actually print green.

Well, I set it to print in black and white, and it printed the black stuff and just left the green stuff as bit white blanks.
