There is a Compatibility Option (Tools | Options | Compatibility) to "Print
colors as black on monochrome printers." Since it would appear that Word has
no way of knowing which colors are monochrome, this setting may work. It is
a per-document setting. There may also be a setting in your printer driver
(File | Print: Properties) to print in black.
