Problem

Symptoms: The customer wanted to know if he could have white text on a black background and have borders around the square of white then black then white then black. Solutions: This will only work if the printer being used is capable of printing white text on a black background. Some printers capable of this are PostScript Printers, HP LaserJet III and compatible printers, and Canon LBP printers (see memo WP51_32770K). One way to do this is as follows: 1. Create a Figure Option that sets all four borders to Double (Alt-F9, 1, 4, 1, 3, 3, 3, 3, F7). 2. Create a figure box with a one cell table inside it (Alt-F9, 1, 1, 9, Alt-F7, 2, 1, 1, Enter, 1, Enter). 3. Change the table to a Centered position and change the gray shading to 100% and turn shading on (while still in the Table menu choose 6, 3, 3, 4, 100, Enter, F7, 3, 8, 1). 4. Exit the Table menu (F7) then change the text color to white by pressing Ctrl-F8, 5, 2, F7, and then type in the text. 5. Now all that is left is to size the table by entering the Table menu (Alt-F7) and sizing it smaller so the lines don't touch the edge of the graphic by pressing Ctrl-Left Arrow. Then exit out of the graphic back to the document screen. This usually takes a little trial and error to get it just where you want it, but it does work.
