I've been sent a document as an email attachment that I want to print. The problem is that it's in negative form, so the page is black and the text is white. How do I change into a printable format? I have a mac laptop. Can anyone help.?

You could try a copy and paste to a text document before printing and see if that worked.

If you do manage to copy and paste text, don't forget that the text might be coloured white (on a white page), so you would need to select all again and change the colour of the font. Good luck with it.

Or you can go to a site such as

www191.lunapic.com/editor/

They can change photos of anything into different formats. So you would save your doc to your computer as a photo, then upload it to Lunapic, where you would alter and save it back to your computer. I did it with a beautiful black and white photo of a snowy wood, DBH said it would look more threatening and scary if reversed. It didn't.

You need to look at the top line, go to Filter, then choose Negative.
