:>>2. Is there any way to write in reverse? By that I mean have white letters
:>
:>I don't think so.
:Actually, you could choose white for the text color and then insert as
:hidden text the postscript for butting a black box behind a paragraph.
:The Word manual shows how to do this. It would be an easy glossary item.


I suspect that the origial poster was interested in whete on black 
for the screen.  (For what it is worth you would need a darn good
printer to paint a whole page black with white text and have it look good.)

There are several inits that will invert the whole screen, thus giving
you white on black text in your word processor.

Close View (which used to be shipped with new systems..) will do
it, but something which just inverts the screen might be less intrusive.
