Change the text color in your Adobe PageMaker 6.0 and 6.5 documents to make specific words stand out. Make sure that your output device can print color!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • PageMaker 6.5 (Mac OS)
  • PageMaker 6.5 (Windows)
  1. Step 1

    Select the text whose color you want to change.

  2. Step 2

    Go to the Type menu and select Character.

  3. Step 3

    Change the color to whatever you like.

  4. Step 4

    Click OK.

Tips & Warnings
  • Use color sparingly - it is difficult to read on screen and on the printed page. Restrict it to titles or other display text.

Please advise.
