I take online classes that use a message board for the majority of the correspondence. I'd like to incorporate the use of text formatting such as colors, bold, underline, etc into my posts but the message board itself offers no such options. Is there a way to type the post in another program and convert/export it to the message board?

I don't really know what to call this or I would have jumped on the internets to use some kind of goggle machine that I've heard of.

I think that was once a feature here. but haven't seen it since many many many moons ago.

I think "they" disabled them

"HTM enabler" the wife said...? I have no idea myself. She is the one taking classes.

Some of the boards will allow you to code in HTML for the desired effect.

^ I guess that's what I want...I know the board will allow HTML code, so how do I get something I type in Word (or similar) into HTML so I can paste it into my message board?

You can open the HTML. She said the HTML needs to be open ,then copy and paste to the board.?

I may have her get on here and explain it if that did'nt help.
