Well, not exactly - Word isn't designed for that kind of task. There are a
few things you can play with, but it depends on the specific content as to
what combinations will work... For example:

Once you paste, Select All then use Format> Borders & Shading to select No
Fill, then change the font color to Automatic.

You can also use Edit> Paste Special - Unformatted Text if you aren't
concerned about retaining the graphic aspects of the content.

It may also be a matter of selecting individual elements & changing their
formatting.

Well, I neglected to say that the object of my question is a page of
text on an internet site. This is what I want to print out.

That site producer, no doubt to be a little fancy, has the "paper" in
dark grey with white text. What I'd like to do is to print that
material. What I'd also like to do is to "reverse" the fancyness so
that the paper coming out of my printer will have ordinary white (non-
colored) background with ordinary black text.

Hence, my question: "Is there a setting in Word 2004 that'll reverse
the colors?"

Unfortunately, neither of your first two approaches works when you
drag a *screenshot* of the text into Word. Using the Boarders &
Shading route, the "automatic" option is greyed out. And, in the
second approach, "paste special" is greyed out.

Another approach I've used is only partly successful. If one simply
selects web text and *drags the selection* directly into Word all is
well. The selected text appears in the normal way (black-on-white) and
can be printed without having to use a gallon of black ink. The
drawback of this approach is that interspersed images do not make the
trip, they do not appear in Word ready for printing.

The *screenshot* method, therefore, still is a problem. Images
transfer into Word, of course, but the web page *text* prints white-on-
black.
