SYMPTOMS
When you apply a Dynamic HTML effect to text that has been assigned a font color, the Dynamic HTML effect does not work correctly.



CAUSE
When you apply a font color to text, the tags are placed inside the (paragraph) tags. As a result, the DHTML effects are applied to the tags as well causing the attributes to override the DHTML effects.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:

Method 1: Use a Custom Style

 * 1) On the Format menu, click Style.
 * 2) In the Style dialog box, click New.
 * 3) In the New Style dialog box, type a new style name in the Name (Selector) box.
 * 4) Click Format and then click Font.
 * 5) Click the Font tab. Change the Color box to the color you want and click OK.
 * 6) Click OK to close the New Style dialog box.
 * 7) Click OK to close the Style dialog box.
 * 8) Select the text that has the DHTML Effect.
 * 9) On the Formatting toolbar, change the Style box to the new style you created in steps 1-7. This will apply your new style to the selected text.

Method 2: Change Text Color to Automatic

 * 1) Select the text that has the DHTML Effect.
 * 2) Right-click the selection, and then click Font.
 * 3) Click the Font tab. Change the Color box to Automatic, and then click OK.
