Why can't I remove the color on a bar in my stationery?

Question

There is a background on the right sidebar of the stationery "Action Alert" and "News Brief". They have orange color but I don't want color there - what do I do?

Response

The yellow/orange background color of the right column is hard coded in your stationary code, it is not controlled by styles. In order to remove this color you will need to edit the HTML of each stationary by going to the stationary, clicking Edit, and going to step 3. HTML.

If you work in code view, you will find the following about half way down the code:

<TD vAlign=top align=rigth width="40%" bgcolor=#ffcc00>

Simply delete the bgcolor=#ffcc00 and the color will be gone.

If you work in the WYSIWYG, the best way to make this change is to go to same editing step as above, switch to "Source View" (button at bottom of WYSIWYG), locate and delete the same code (bgcolor=#ffcc00). You will find the code to remove just below the 1:first_name and 63:2 that are in little ivory boxes in Source View.
