Default
The valid RGB value range for all colours is 0 to 255. If that's not working on your system, there's a fault somewhere. I'm glad you have a workaround, but you probably don't want to spend time on every document you get with blue text changing the colours so as to work around that problem. A reinstall of Word might fix it, but I'm not particularly hopeful - given that it affected the printout from WordPad on your system as well, it may be a Windows issue. The black print definitely corresponds to R=0,B=0,G=0 and that's what I see in the documents. Question: what happens if you now change the B=254 back to B=255?
