How to make Header Darker?

Tom,

Sounds to me like your header and footer are being rendered in gray, as can happen.

Although I've never had WPTools 4, I suggest you try something like this:

with WPRichText1 do
  ViewOptions := ViewOptions + [ wpDontGrayHeaderFooterInLayout  ]

You should also find that any font colors, if any are non-black, in the header or footer will now be honored with that line applied.

If that's not right, look for wpDontGrayHeaderFooterInLayout in the Help file, to see what it belongs to, if not ViewOptions.

Hope that helps!
