Hi, I tried that. The code and css show the color as black but that's not what's happening. I redefined the css styles which let me "bold" the font but, even though the color is black, I still get light blue text on output. It's maddening.
Forgot to add the code:
<p class="toc-1"><a href="Acknowledgements_CS6.xhtml#toc_marker-1">Acknowledgments</a></p>
p.toc-1 {
color: #000000;
font-family: "Chaparral Pro", serif;
font-size: 1em;
font-style: normal;
font-variant: normal;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 1.2;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-top: 5px;
text-align: left;
text-decoration: none;
text-indent: 0px;
}
