newbie question - driving me mad!

[TanyaBranning]

How do I format my descriptions ie. change colour and style of font, add spacing etc?

It's driving me mad! Surely not everyone else in the world is an HTML: expert????

there are options for choosing colour & font & size on teh basic editor. They are along the top of the box that you type in. Is this what you mean?

Yes, thanks - but still cant find them. Dont know where I'm going wrong!

Are you using firefox or IE?
I can't get any format option when i am on firefox.

Firefox or safari...

I get them fine on firefox.
