Type: Change Text Color

	Remember that when you change the color of your type, you must be sure you are providing a high contrast with the background of your page.
	You can change the color of all of the type on a page or you can change the color of a selected section of type on a page. You can also change the colors of your hyperlinks, active hyperlinks, and visited hyperlinks.
	To change the color of all of the text on a page, choose Format, Background from the main menu. The Page Properties dialog box will appear. It will be set to the Background tab.

	From here you can use the drop-down menu boxes to change the default values of the page background, the text on the page, and both the hyperlinks and the visited and active hyperlinks.
	Make your color selections from the dropdown boxes.

	If you click on Custom Colors the Color dialog box will appear.

	Choose from a wider variety of basic colors or set the Red, Green, and Blue values by hand by typing in the hexadecimal equivalents in the color boxes on the lower right. When you have finished making your selections, click on OK to close the dialog box(es) and apply your changes.
	You can also click on the Get background information from another page radio button in the lower third of the General tab on the Page Properties dialog box, then click on Browse, and ask FrontPage to copy the background and colors from an already existing page.
	If you want to change the color of only a specific selection of text: Highlight the text you want to apply color to. Click on the down arrow just to the right of the Font Color button on the Formatting toolbar. Choose your color from the small color dropdown box that appears or click on Custom Colors to define a new color.	Font Color button
	Remember that when you change text and background colors you must provide sufficient contrast between the text and background for your visitor to read the text on your site. Also bear in mind that your visitor may want to print out your web site; if so, avoid light text on a dark background.
