- [Voiceover] In this document, we want to make sure…that all of the black type is truly just black type.…Now, it looks like black type, of course,…but this customer often imports text from Word…which comes in as RGB, and if they don't fix it,…that text is going to print as four color.…And if there's just the tiniest bit of misregistration…on press, any thin or small four color type…just isn't going to look right.…It really needs to print only in black ink.…First, I'm going to roll my cursor down…near the bottom of the screen,…and that awakens the little page controls bar…that appears and disappears.…
I like to have those tools visible all the time,…so I'm going to click this little icon on the right end…that moves those page controls…up into the toolbar; now they'll stay there.…And, I like this, the ability to click on…Fit one full page to window,…so I can see the entire page.…And here's some black text.…You can see some over here, and here, and here.…So, because of previous experience, I'm suspicious…that perhaps that isn't just black-only text.…
