RE: Change the font color of a file to help identify it easier.

I disagree for the same reasons Bob cited. And there are already numerous
options available for locating important and commonly used files.

- Create a shortcut to the document(s) and place them on your Desktop or
Quick Launch/Windows toolbar

- Place the document in its own folder and change the folder icon so it can
be easily recognized

- Or create a shortcut and modify the shortcut icon

- Modify the file name and include a symbol at the beginning so if sorted in
ascending order it will appear at the beginning of the file list

Please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup. Email requests for assistance
can not be acknowledged.
