Our client wants to be able to change the font color of any field on her form to emphasize different information at will. For the text fields, I can easily make them Rich Text to give her this option. But it doesn't appear that Rich Text can be specified for Numerics, Dates, or Drop Down Boxes.
 
Is there any way to offer her Rich Text for these field types? I am working in LiveCycle 8.2.1 on Windows XP.
 
Thanks.

Hi,

those fields cannot use RichText.
You can use scripting to change the text colors for those fields.

Make text color red and caption black:
  1. NumericField.font.fill.color.value = "255,0,0";
  2. NumericField.caption.font.fill.color.value = "0,0,0";
