Howdy Omar,
        Thanks for your observation, however, this is no cause for
concern. You get the same response if you use whites instead.  I must
admit, I had a knee-jerk reaction when I first tried it but I went head
and tried other options some of which are not even in MS word library and
it all comes out the same.  So, drink a cool refreshing water, kick back
and relax.
