Simple one I hope.

I want to copy some text from a website into a word document.

The website has a black background screen and white text.

When I copy and past the test is still in white in a black block on my white screen, how to I change it to normal black text on white please?

Paste/paste special/Unformatted text?

have you tried highlighting the text and removing the highlighting and changing the text colour to black? On my version of word this is foundon the 'home' ribbon under font.

depends if it's copying as a picture - I.e it's not on the site as text so to speak rather a photo of text.

have you tried;
in the bottom right hand corner of the item pasted should show a clipboard - select the option "paste text only" or words to that effect

if it is merely a colouring issue hold "ctrl+a" and format colours as normal

what was the site out of interest i'd be happy to try to do the same and tell you my process if I can sort it out

fifier - paste

niv- cannot remove highlighting

hudson 1984 - not copying as a picture

warwicktiger

Niv - cannot see a home ribbon on the fon menue

Hudson1984

no no not copying as picture, the website may have inserted the text block as a picture rather than as text (stops people copying and pasting)

inbox me the link to the website and i'll help

Hudson1984

also, what version of word are you using

warwicktiger

Hudson, sorry, no can do, its a bit naughty
