Adjusting color charts for black-and-white printing
AppleWorks displays charts in color if you're using a color monitor. When you print a color chart in black and white, AppleWorks uses a shade of gray to represent each color. You can display a chart in black and white to make adjustments to the gray shades.

Select the chart, then choose Chart Options from the Edit menu.
Tip: You can also double-click the chart.

If necessary, click Gallery.
