Lisa, The only way I know to change the color of the text in a character field is to put on colored glasses.
On the other hand... If you can use a View field to display the text then you can use as much HTML and flaming/spinning icons as you might ever want to. On the other, other hand... You can also (on the Mid-Tier only) use javascript to parse the text and add extra formatting that the browser might render properly for you too. But that is far from something that I would suggest anyone actually do. -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
