My computer does the same thing when I have my black and white printer
selected (HP Laserjet). It acts like it can only print monochrome. When I
change the text color it changes it to black when printing (whether I select
multiple colors or just one). If I shade the background it prints as black
dots instead of a shade of gray.

If I select my color printer (hp photosmart) it acts the way you and I would
expect it to.

So I think it is a printer setting but I can't find it.

I have a simple page to print out but I want to format the text to print in 2
differnt colors (light gray and black). It looks good on the sheet but I can
not get it to print what I have formated as light gray in light gray. It
will only print the text as black? Even in print preview it changes it to all
black.

Is there a way to print 2 or more text colors in the same cell?

Thanks in advance for your help.
