No question is a dumb question...only the ones you don't ask!

Anyway, the fonts are changed by highlighting the text you want to change and then you click on fonts (below where it says, message). I hopefully just changed the font in this paragraph!

Then, you can highlight the word or words you want to change the colors of as I am about to do with the word here
I clicked on the little down arrow next to the Large A and the color palette appeared. There are many choices to highlight words if I want this word to be Bold I highlight bold with my mouse and then click on the "B". You also have italics and underline.

Other goodies are there but the trick is to highlight the word/words first, and then choose your option...including size

Hope this made sense!!

Marcia going to preview her work before posting!! :)

Hoops, if you will scroll down to the bottom of the page, down to the little box entitled "Posting Rules," and click on the link that says "vB code is on," you will be transported to a page that explains (with examples) how to do everything. :D

One thing you may want to do is to go to User CP>Edit Options. At the bottom of that page you cans elect the type of Editor you like for posting. The bottom option is for a "Full WYSIWYG Editor". Choose that and using all the formatting things will be easier than inserting VB code for everything...
