Sorry for the misunderstanding and thankyou Cheiron. In order for the acro to have color/bold/underline...... in the edit box u must enter the codes like: \"crtl + k\" for color, \"ctrl + u\" for underline and so forth. The enable text code check box will display the acronym with the \"ctrl\" codes. If you uncheck the box the acronym will display with all the codes striped.
