Ok DocJohn I am having trouble now... when I posted the above reply, the coloring worked but I had to go back in to EDIT mode and add a word I had deleted by mistake. NOW it posts without the color.
No, btw, I am not adding the " " to the code, it does that. I use the font color boxes, click on the color...
but then I have to delete the ending because it always shows up right after the entering code and before it's colored any text!
(such as, and I do this without the brackets so it will show:
{color
urple} { /color} ........
as for the use of bold, I have done both: entered it manually in text, and clicked on the Instant Bold word and entered the entire text I want bold.
still trying to figure it out too.
