Font color trouble

[City_Sue]

I get inconsistent results when changing some font style colour in the style sheet (Format > Styles). There are highlight and font colours.
(1) I notice that whaever hex colour I type in for the font, it then gets saved as the next style's highlight colour, weven tho that style seems to work ok.
(2) I have tried to add a color for the font by seleting in the Format>Font list a hex colour such as #28517a. Tried white, transparent and auto for hgihlight colour and it just blanks out the text color. Also tried typein in a new hex color but it sometimes doesn't work. (It does work using #af0300 for font even toho highlight shows as X006898 -blue, it displays a normal background)
selecting a standard color lie Navy works - but I need another colour.
(3) How do I delete unwanted colors from that drop-down list of colours?

Just on 3, look in rhcolor.apj

To add to Peter's post, I wonder if it may be best to add all your colours to the rhcolor.apj file (you can do this in RH itself using the Format > Colours menu item) and then assigning these to your styles.

I'm going to give that a try Colum - it's a good idea.
I should also add that we are set up for VSS to do the RoboHelp version control. So heavan knows what effect that is having. that's another can of worms altogether.

Provided all the required files are being checked in/out I'd have thought VSS would have no effect whatsoever. However if they're not...

As you said it's a can of worms.
