Re: How to set text color for screen display ONLY?

Hi Sergei,

We have not implemented that feature as it would be confusing for most
users. Word Processors are often used to type text in different
colours, overiding that would cause confusion.

In your specfic case a worked around would be to simply set the text
colour back to black before you send it to someone else.
This is a simple two click processes.
1. Choose "Select all" from the edit menu,
2. Set font colour from either the toolbar or format character menu.
Save and your done. Furthermore you know it works because suddenly all
the text is black.

Cheers

martin
