Keeping the same font colour

thank you, dist;urbed.

that didnt work. i think it is a function of the display options of ASUS and windows seven. i've fiddled and discovered the screen text changes with theme and colour management. oddly, it doesnt seem to affect printing, although the text may be lime green on my Word document,[ugh] it prints black.
so i've changed back to the 'classic windows' display and all is as it should be.
thanks again for your time and trouble.
