Linked objects in Word - colour disparity

Hi All,

I have a series of linked tables in Word referencing Excel. They are formatted in Gill Sans MT and are dark blue.

The tables show up perfectly in Word - and in print preview in Word - but when I print on our work laser colour printer (which is working perfectly) the tables themselves come out in colour but the text has been converted to black. WHY does this happen?

Any thoughts or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Peter
