Is it possible to apply several different Link colours to html text in the same ‘container’? I was using the Action Link Color which obviously overrides Styles but is applied globally to everything contained as opposed to individual lines of text. I have a Menu in HTML and I want different selections to be in 2 different greys in their natural state.

Funny you should ask, but Todd posted an example of this in the off topic section just the other day. [http://www.freewaytalk.net/thread/view/49354](http://www.freewaytalk.net/thread/view/49354)

It does mean diving into the Styles Editor.

Well thanks Chucka, Gill Sans? Is that HTML? I want that. Back on course - erm, yes. Should I be looking at Source and what for. Sorry for me it has to be splet out or is that spelt out.

In addition to the one below, here’s an older and uglier but much  
simpler example I did of multiple link styles.

Thanks Todd. I’ll take a look and see if I can understand what’s happening in your example. What I’m trying to achieve is here: [http://hfdesign.net/JaneEfford/](http://hfdesign.net/JaneEfford/) where the menu’s in CAPS are a different colour to those that are in lower case, i.e Navigation & Treatments.  
Thanks for the input guys.

Ah, yes. Well, that’s easy enough to do. Keep in mind my examples  
don’t rely on actions. Not that it’s hard to do manually, just  
different. Give a shout if you have questions.
