Text Color - In a List

J

JCO

I have stuff from one web page that I'm copying to my web. Some data is in
the form of a list (either with the "dots" or with "numbers"). The text
coped over in black, therefore, I had to change the color to white (because
of my background).

When changing the color of the text, the dots or numbers remain black. You
can't see them well when they are black. I've tried taking the dots off and
putting them back on. It did not help.

How do you change this color, when doing a list.

Hi,
you should be using CSS to set the list colour. Eg
<style type="text/css">
ul,ol{
color:white;
}
</style>

This will make the numbers/bullets and the text white for all the lists on
your page - of course you could also set fonts margins etc if you wanted

I've tried to set the font color. That's what the problem is.
When I set the font color, the text changes as expected but the bullets stay
black.

I don't know anything about CSS.
How do I do this. Does the CSS already exist that I have to modify?
If I have to create a CSS, please explain.

Copy and paste the script Jon posted between the head tags of your page.
That is a css script he posted for you.

also, strip out the exisiting formatting (font tags etc) on the list. Select
the list Format - Remove Formatting

Sorry about the confusion.
Yes this works. However I was not able to remove the font and color tags
within the table.
I guess that is not important.

Is it true that the CSS in the header sets up the default, then you can
change it in each table by using the Table Properties| Cell Properties | or
Font Properties?

Still learning????
