Need to put white letters on a black background? Well, just do the
following.
MacPaint:
1. Select the text option from the pallet; select the font of your choice,
then Outline or Shadow from the Style menu and type in your text.
2. Select the Paint Can from the pallet, then a shade of black. Move the
pointer (now a small paint can) off to the side of your text and double
click.
The Paint Can fills in the region around your text in black, leaving your
typed characters white.
MacDraw or LisaDraw:
1. Type in your line, then change your letters to Outline or Shadow, with a
fill of none.
2. Draw a box, circle, etc., over the top of your text.
3. While your box is still selected, select Send to Back from the
Arrangement menu, then choose a fill of black.
The end result gives you white letters on a black background.
