Why doesn't the printout specification >of my stylesheet overule localised stuff in a cell? This has to do with inheritance. When you explicitly add an option (FontColor in this case) it overrides all cell style options (for working and printout environments). What you can do is create a new cell style for your comments: -Select the Format>Edit Style Sheet menu. -Select create private style sheet -Make a copy of the Input style definitions -Use the Format>Show Expression menu on the copy -Change the StyleData from "Input" to a new name (e.g. "Comment") -Use the Format>Show Expression menu to reformat the cells Now set the new style to look like what you want: -Set the color of the main prototype to be red. -Set the color of the printout environment to be black Then select a comment and use the Format>Style>Comment menu on it. >4.
