Hi!

I only just discovered this Bboard, and I'm not sure if my question is 
appropriate - anyway, here it is :

I use Borland's Turbo Pascal 5.0regularly to do sums and plot the results on 
graphs. I tend to use the graph unit but NOT the graphix toolbox these days.

When I have done a particularly interesting sum, I like to write about it,
in WordPerfect 5.0, and include pictures. Hooray! WP5.0 can GRAB my
graphs right off the screen. Sadly, however, it does precisely that,
leaving black as black and white as white, resulting in very messy
graphs on paper. I tried reversing the colours using SETBKCOLOR,
SETCOLOR and also by resetting the colour definitions with SETPALETTE.

Unfortunately this led to different permutations of shades of grey on
black, and vice versa.

So what can I do? At the moment I just do screen dumps of my pictures
to the laser printer, and then write the text, leaving a hole, and 
print it out onto the same page, but this is time-consuming and
restrictive. Or am I doing something wrong with the printer (Which is a 
Canon LBP 8II?

Thanks in advance for any help.
