Ross,


To bold an item highlight it with your mouse then click the \"B\", to add color again highlight ONLY the text not the parts and add \"Colour\". Sizing does not seem to be working for some reason.

Try this: Descriptive word hyper-linking:

Find the web site you want to link to and copy the link. Next click URL. Now hold your mouse over the URL box in the \"barcode area\" and in the yellow line follow the script and paste your link. So it will look like this: [ url=http:// your link here with no spaces /] Your descriptive text here with no spaces [/url ]

Without Descriptive Text:
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/Forecasts/FZUS51.KGYX.html

With Descriptive Text:
NOAA Marine Forecast - Coastal Maine

Phil, While I am on the subject of fonts is it within reason to add characters for subscripts and super scripts?

copy from \"Word\" and paste here:

From N.39°32.173\'
And W 76° 17.852\'
This is a test.


It worked! I can compose in \"Word\" and copy and paste here. This is good.

There\'s a module that will convert locations (re: home ports) to lat/lon, then map it when yopu call up a user profile. Pretty cool, eh?

Phil,

That will work.
I was thinking that if we are making nautical notation and conversation we ought to be able to write the symbols and such.

As much as I enjoy using a computer, I miss being able to write in mathmatical language : pi(r squared) or any of the other things so easy with a pencil.
