[SOLVED] Office home and student 2019 word question.

[MJS WARLORD]

I have copied and pasted a large posting from a "steam" games discussion thread so that I don't have to retype it all.
After pasting into word the printing now appears in white ink with a black background around each individual word so obviously it will use a lot of ink.
Is it possible to do what some people might call an inverse image so that it will appear as black ink with a white background.

if it is text try paste special of various kinds, 'as text' being most likely, or just change the font and text colour?

Hi monkey your suggestion did not work but I found a weird solution , I copied and pasted the posting into this reply box but something odd happened . instead of white text with a black block around each word it pasted here as normal so all I did was re copy and paste it back into word and it appeared as it should.

A strange work around but it worked.

Keep Text Only​

Original from the Steam client:

In Word 2019:
On the left is just paste. On the right is Right click, Paste Options, Keep Text Only.
