This article was previously published under Q108491 SYMPTOMS
Upside down "Spletters" (special text created using the Shape tool)
are not dithered (shaded) when you print them. In other words, they
print out only in black and white, not in shades of gray or colors.
You are most likely to notice this problem when you are printing cards.
(Some of the pages on cards are printed upside down, so that they will
be right-side-up when you fold them.)
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Creative Writer version
1.0 1.1 and 1.1a. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
Normally, the dithering is done by the printer. Upside down pages,
however, are sent to the printer as bitmaps, which cannot be modified by
the printer. Printers can't dither bitmaps.
