A minor adding to this. I got the same problem after a got a new update of microsoft office and/or Stata on my machine.
And also many colleagues of mine in my departement are reporting the same inconvenient. So now when I just copy and
past a graph in from Stata to Word and print it, I will get a black background.
There are still many ways to work around this. The one I use is just to pdf the document.
I forgot to ask Vince about this at the Italian Stata meeting.

Save the graph `asis,' open it in a new Stata window, and then copy it to Word

recommend using medthick or thick for clwidth.

Quoting "Ngo,PT (pgr)" <[email protected]>:



Dear Statalisters,

There was a posting a while ago regarding problems printing Stata graphs
after they have been inserted in a Word document. "The graph looks correct
when viewed in Word on the screen and in "show print", however when i print
the Word document the histogram looks
black- almost a negative with faint white lines and no legends".

The graph is inserted in picture format.

I am not sure what was the final answer to this posting. Can someone guide me
on this? Graphs are being printed all right from Stata itself.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Thi Minh

This may be a solution if you have not already done it. When printing, pick
printer properties. Under some tab you probably have print "grey scale".

Using Stata 8 latest update, with Win 98SE and XP and Word 2000:

I'm having problems printing Stata graphs after they have been inserted in a
Word document.

Curiously the histogram looks correct when viewed in Word on the screen and
in "show print", however when i print the Word document the histogram looks
black- almost a negative with faint white lines and no legends. The graph is
inserted in emf format.

I've updated the printer drivers for my two printers Lexmark E320( WIN98SE)
and HP6P(WinXP), I've tried "print as graphics" and tried different graph
preferences in Stata. The graphs prints correctly when printed directly from
Stata.

suggestions?

JK
