Thanks Bill Lots of useful stuff in Susans list Paul

Hi,Interesting to testBackgroundColorValue="......"and the corresponding {bck1}.....{bck)etc.as used with "Color"Jan"Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."

Hello Jan That gave me some clues! {fnt1}%((@c:FlightPlanWaypointIndex) (@c:FlightPlanActiveWaypoint) ==)%{if}%{bck2}%((@c:FlightPlanWaypointIdent))%!s!%{else}%{bck}%((@c:FlightPlanWaypointIdent))%!s!%{end}%{end} This code gives a gray background to the active waypoint name in the legs page like in a 737 NG FMC. Where {bck2} is a normal formatted text added color number, and {bck} removes the background color. Paul

Paul,Did some tests. doesn't work.You need a lot of: (2) (3) (4)etc.and the sequence number determines the color and the background color of the text.So for example:/{clr2}/{bck3}text/{clr}/{bck} gives a green text on a red background.Jan"Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."
