Hello Kimberly Thanks for your suggestion. Following your suggestion and when I get to "Font Color drop down menu" and then arrow up or down I get a choice of Black or White so if I choose White then the text is "White on White". If I arrow down again it says Black and this makes the message Black on White. If I continue to arrow down then I get "Dark Red 5 of 40 next Red 17 of 40 Next Pink 25 of 40 Next Rose 33 of 40 Then I am back to "Font Color drop down menu" So even with the JFW cursor I can't find those colors between the ones mentioned. Sorry it did not work out for me, darn. Once you select say "White" how do you change the back ground to make the selection "White on Black"?
