Change Conditional Text Default Colors

We just upgraded from FM8 to FM12 on Windows. I was hoping that by now, there would be an easy way to change the default colors for condition tags. I can't find a way to do this. I happen to hate the bright green used for inserted text and would like it changed in all documents for all time. Is there a way to do this? Thank you.

What "condition tags" are you speaking of?

Historically, FM had only one Conditional Text tag defined by default (Comment: red underline), and that was probably controlled by the default template document, and not by the FM app per se.

I presume this can be changed by revising the template via Special > Conditional Text > Edit Condition Tag and resave in place. In any case, you can set whatever you want for your own template documents.

> ... bright green used for inserted text ...

What Conditional Text tag name is that?

To clarify, I am talking about the Inserted (bright green underlined ) and Deleted (red strikethrough ) conditions that exist, by default, when you compare two files. Those conditions are not in my working files, so Frame creates/defines them whenever I compare two files. Your response, however, caused me to add them to the working files and then try a comparison. That seems to solve the problem, so thank you for making me think!
