I attempted to use this code to fix my problem and I notice that the code
gives the user the ability to do all formatting. I have tried to change that
and I can't seem to get it. My original problem was that I want the user to
be able to change the font color while protected but not allow them to do all
other formatting. Do you have any suggestions?
