How to Print in Black White in MS Word
1. Click 'File' and then 'Print.' To open the print dialogue box using keyboard commands, press 'CTRL' and 'P' simultaneously.
2. Select the printer you are using at the top of the dialogue box under 'Printer' and 'Name.'
3. Click the 'Properties' button next to the selected printer. The dialogue box that appears is different for all users, as it depends on the type of printer being used.
4. Click on a tab, button or selection box indicating 'Color.' Most options include high-quality color, grayscale and black cartridge only. Choosing grayscale will print the document using various shades of gray and other tones such as blue or green that match the actual hues in the document visible on the screen. A photo or picture that may look black or gray could actually have blue undertones. To print purely in black and white with no undertones, you must select either 'black cartridge' or 'black and white only.'
5. Select 'OK' to return to the Microsoft Word printer dialogue box. Press the 'Print' button to print the black-and-white document.
