Entering colored text

[Guest]

In using FrontPage 2003 I have a need to enter the same text, "New", in
different colors - red, blue, green, yellow, etc. Obviously I could just
type in "New" and color it, but I'd like a quick way of doing this. Perhaps
a macro. Can anyone help?

Use CSS?

The place where I'm trying to do this is in a file (actually multiple files)
that were imported. The original tool used for the webpages did not use CSS.
I could activate CSS is that will make it easier. Help.

CSS is not going to be a big help since there are no CSS tags associated with your content or the
specific Words.

Then he'll just have to use font tags, won't he??
ETC

Either way, he will need to apply some tags.

Use Code Snippets.
Add a new snippet: <span style="color:red">New</span>

or <span style="color:|">New</span>
When the second example is inserted, the curser will be positioned at the |
ready for the colour to be typed in.

and insert it on the page in Code View.

To add a snippet:
Tools->Page Options - Code Snippets tag

To insert a snippet:
In Code view (or code pane in Split View):
position curser
Ctrl+Enter
Double click on snippet in list.

This is perhaps the most help, but it seems to me that this would be more
trouble than just typing "New", highlighting it and setting the color. Am I
wrong?

You are not wrong, but that is the method to use, when using CSS.
