    Thanking you in advance for your time! (1) How do I
    change the text color for effect???  (2) How to create

    Use the Text tool. This has text color and text formatting tools.

    For the Strikethrough, just wrap the text with a strike tag in the source code.

    Elton,

    I have just tested the same way I tried to edit my form text previously
    and it failed...again. There has to be something simple that I overlook!

    When I click on "existing text" and the box opens below it I pasted the 
    a copy-paste of the text desired to change. It immediately appears in
    the box. I highlite the text I desire to change color of and select color
    icon to open the drop down colors. I selected red, the color changes "in
    the boxed text". 

    I immediately did a copy so I could make changes again elsewhere in
    the form fields. I pasted this text in the existing field and it appears red.
    However when I click off the box or...click the check mark save button...
    the text returns to its original black...not red.

    What am I doing incorrectly?

    Everytime I highlite text anywhere in the document and click "text" at the
    left...this occurs, wheterh or not I do a copy-paste or not with the text I
    desire to change text attribute of.

    To copy the formatted text from one Text element to another one you need to copy the source code and then paste this source code to another Text element where you want to implement the same formatted text.

    Please refer to this GIF animation:

    Let us know if you are still having issues implementing this change.

    Thanks.
