Changing table color.

Changing table color.

Changing table color.

(OP)
A while back I was messing with my windows appearance and somewhere along the way I changed the color of my tables (BOM, Rev etc.) to light blue.  Now my pdfs are showing up with blue text and on our colorless printers, the text is unreadable.  Anyone know how to changes the colors.  I have not found an option to do so.  This is effecting the text and the borders.

Clem,

Try Tools, Options, System Options, Colors.  From the drop-down choose "Annotations, Non Imported".  Change it to black.  This should be fix your problem with the BOM tables.

RE: Changing table color.

FYI - The new PDF (SP2.1) prints out in color no matter what the settings are for the printer and the page setup.

Look under Tools\Options\System options\Colors

RE: Changing table color.

(OP)
Thanks guys!  This has been haunting me for a while.  It's one of those things where I have checked and double-checked.  Don't quite know how I missed that option though Regg.  

That is interesting about the color pdf's.  I create a lot of pdf's, but only recently have I noticed that they were coming out with the blue tables. Now I get to hunt down all of them and resave/saveaspdf/checkin.  Where is the option for that...
