I am working on a drawing where I have color coded boxes that are shaded to plot out in certain colors. In these boxes are designation tags that are hard to read when they plot in black. What I want to do is make the tags show up white when I plot the drawing. I have tried using white and 255 for the color of the tags. When I used white they still plotted black and when I used 255 you can't see them at all on the plot. I am using ACAD 2000. Any ideas?

Perhaps try using a thicker lineweight in colour 255 and ensuring that
draworder places the text in front of the background shading - where
printing light colours over dark, it is more a case of not printing the
text, effectively leaving unprinted "holes" in the background, so the text
needs to be a little "fatter" than normal black on white.
