Hi. I'm new to this so thank you for any advice ... When I have typed an email and want to change color of text, I see Color / Add to Custom Color ... can anyone tell me how to "Add to custom colors", have it remain in place, then put another custom color in beside the most recent one. For me, a 'new' color overrides one already selected. Thank you.

Select some text in a new message, then click the text color icon on the Formatting Bar to show the Text Color window, then click Choose a color to show the Color window (see picture). Click a color box and then Add to Custom Colors, repeat for other colors. The last selected color box will be applied to the selected text. If another string of text is selected, the set of Custom Colors is still available in the Color window, and also for other messages in the same TB session, but the set is not preserved when TB is restarted.
