    Adam:
    James,
     
    For the font color issue, it's about reformatting the span style. Please check the following thread for details:
     
     
    Ok, this answers my question about adding multiple levels of formatting but has nothing to do with a) why I can't change the default font/highlight colors, and b) why I can't apply these colors to selected text in my document.
    Adam:
     
     
    We have a new solution in version 6.0:
     
    Demo:
     
     
    I'll look at this as soon as I can.
    Adam:
     
    For the justification issue,  It's about HTML List Rules.

    First let's make a test. 

    Type the following HTML code into your FrontPage: 

    test<br/>
    test<br/>
    test<br/>
    test<br/>
    test<br/>
    test<br/>
    test<br/> 

    Select the first line and click the order list.

    You will find out FrontPage has the same behavior as Cute Editor. 
     
      
    But, in FP, if you hit Enter in Normal view at after the last element on this list, then click the Numbering or Bullets button, the list is entered AFTER this text.  In CE, the text becomes the first element in the list no matter what I do.
     
    This also does not answer why I can't apply text justification of just a single selected span of text and not to the entire document.
    Adam:
    The <br> tag is a special HTML element, not a Block-level element like <div>, <p> 

    One of the general rules for what happens when you click on a list toolbar button:

    For selected paragraphs that are not list items, make each paragraph a list item. 

    It's a bit tricky when intervening <br> element. The users may want the editor automatically remove <br> elements; And also want the editor add a list item between each <br>...
    If I understand you, you're saying that including <br> tag in the HTML of my documents may be what's messing up CE?
    Adam:
    Hope it helps.
