Ok.. i tried it out... and it almost works like I want it... weird though 1. when I put in <p><font color="blue">this is BLUE</p></font> it prints it in like a bright green. but if i use the RGB # then its fine. weird.... 2. if there is an apostrophe in the notes, then it will add slashes it to that as well so if I type blah blah blah I am going over to my friend's website later on and here is the address... <a href="http://friends.com>Friends</a> it will look like friend\\\'s Friends(link)
