"always use my fonts" was checked. Sooo, I tried changing the font color to
something besides Blue and, guess what, it worked. In fact, very color except
blue seems to work. But when I go back to blue, it comes up black on the New
Notes. This is wierd!
I never thought of using a different color before, particularly because it
worked ok for replies. I'll just have to remember not to use blue I guess.
Thank you so much for your help, Milly.
