Yeah, that's the method I'm using at the moment, but it's a really long-winded way of doing it.. Wondered if there was a simpler way of doing it, i.e. with a plugin...

Do you need to use people's fonts that often that you cant settle for using word? A plugin like this doesn't sound like it'd be very complicated to make, but how many people would use it?

Fair point, but I thought it'd be a nifty little tool to have and I didn't think it would be too complicated to make... In fact, I think I'd check what font more people were using if I had a tool like this, sometimes I'm curious and just don't do it because opening Word on this computer takes a lot of time, besides, what if you don't have Word?

Then use WordPad. Faster loading too.

Hmmm.. Didn't think you could do it in Wordpad, I've tried in the past and had no success, am I missing something?

Doesn't work for me in Wordpad, it has a set 16 colours, where as Word has the whole colour chart which is needed for the colour value to be displayed.

You can do it, but I think you can't do it at unsent text. You can copy with formating for what you write if you send it(copy from text box not from type box)

*Edit didn't know about the colors

correct...

Copying from the chat text works perfect here (with all colors)... And since this is what needs to be copied (not the text you write) there wouldn't be any problem using this method (other than that it is not so convenient to also open Wordpad, but it indeed would work for the occasional lookup)

--------

Wordpad can show all colors (as it uses RTF), you only can't select all colors when writing a new document in wordpad.
