BTW - if you want to just colorize one word in the middle of a sentence, I'm not really sure how to do that. I know how to do is with a style sheet, but you cannot define your style inside the body of the html document so that rules out doing that when posting on FR. You can do it with a table if you are only interested in colorizing the beginning of the sentence (by playing a align=left in the table tag):

This
is a test.

It doesn't look that good though and it very tricky to do (forgetting the paragraph tag in the prior paragraph will put the after text on the paragraph before the table.)

I tried to use an inline style (a CSS cheat), but cannot get that to work in a FR post either. Sorry!
