We use corel designer x5 to create process sheets for our assembly floors, these consists of 20+ pages of black background sheets that have pastel color isometric views of our product. The black background is needed as our operators view the process sheets on monitors. However when we need to print out a hard copy it uses up an incredible amount of toner. Is there a way to create a macro to invert the colors of the entire sheet to allow of more efficient printing?
Have you tried to invert the image in the print dialog box. Select print, then under the prepress tab you will find the checkbox for invert.
Hope it helps.

That only inverts the orientation of the drawing and not the colors of the objects.
Oops. Spoke much too soon. That does indeed invert the colors on the document.
Alternatively - if removing the black background only without changing the colors of the drawing objects - you could think of using the page background feature that's found in the document settings:
One thing to consider with disabling the "Print and Export Background" setting is that you will exclude the background (color) from being printed AND exported (i.e. to a bitmap for screen display).
...and of course a white line will not show up on the printout at all.
