Changing Font Colour & Style

[Tibsen21]

Hi I'm new on here.


First question for me.
The title sounds simple and I guess it is but the particular issue is driving me nuts.
I've made a little form and I would like the answers to be a different colour to the questions e.g.

Username - Answer

When I type "Username - " and then try to change the colour and style for the answer, it keeps changing back to black/bold.
When I use the show non printing characters (backwards P) the P symbol is the correct colour but any text that is typed remains black and bold.

Simple but very puzzling
Thanks - Tibsen

Your description suggests you're using content controls or formfields but, without actually seeing the problem document, it can be difficult for anyone to diagnose the issue. Can you attach a document to a post with some representative data (delete anything sensitive)? You do this via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab at the bottom of this screen.

Please see the file attached.
What I would like is to have the "Username -" displayed as Black and Bold then a space followed by blank space formatted with Italic and blue font.

The problem I have is that if someone puts their cursor on the end of the - and then hits space the Black bold font is used, the Italic blue font is ahead of the cursor.

If the attached file is viewed with non printing characters on this may be more apparent.

Thanks

Try using a table, as in the attached. That should make it obvious where people are to type.
