Multi-coloured text in TOC possible?

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Okay, you made me look. Fired up the W7 laptop and WLM and hit Reply to a
random post; sure enough, the text of the post I was replying to was quoted
with >, as expected. The setting is in the same place in WLM as in OE: Tools
| Options | Send: News Sending Format: Plain Text Settings: Indent the
original text with [choice] when replying." Of course, that's available only
for plain text, not HTML.

No, WLM doesn't add anything at all, as you can tell by looking at this
reply. :-(

way as with OE.

Lisa,

This is off-topic, but I just have to ask if you are using some sort of
add-in to add ">" for quoted text in WLM?

Hi Suzanne, hi Stefan,

colors coming from theme colors, and being applied directly to text,
seem to be considered in the TOC.
But just "Text"-colors (Text 1, Text 2), not Background, Accent 1...)
are considered. However, the color in the TOC is not the same as used
in the main text:
{ TOC \o "1-1" \h \z \t "Title;2" }
{ TOC \o "1-1" \h \z \t "Title;2" \x }

Removing \h in the TOC, and additionally (or instead of) using the
switch \u, will reflect colors of main text in the TOC:

{ TOC \o "1-1" \z \t "Title;2" }
{ TOC \o "1-1" \z \t "Title;2" \x }
{ TOC \o "1-1" \h \z \t "Title;2" \u }
{ TOC \o "1-1" \z \t "Title;2" \u}

missed it. :-(

Interestingly, I'm not seeing that at all, even in Word 2010 (at least
not running on Windows XP--haven't tested in Windows 7).
Actually, worse still, I'm seeing it intermittently. I can get
blue to show up sometimes but never red. I thought perhaps
it was a distinction between theme colors and standard colors, but
it's not that simple.

Which version of WLM are you using? The behavior may have changed when WLM
2011 was released.

February.

Yes, WLM 2011 is release 15 (recently upgraded by Windows update to
15.4.3555.0308) and it makes use of the ribbon...

Maybe I'll have to downgrade to the last version that also worked in Windows
XP. :-(

Since posting my previous message I actually *did* downgrade to WLM 14,
which supports quoting with ">"; that version is also a bit more stable I
think...
