Why can't this be specified in the Option Inspector? I have tried but
cannot seem to get it to work. Also, using he Preference screen that
one gets from the Edit dropdown I have set my comments to display in
Orange. However, this does not seem to work either. Anyone have any
ideas why using the option inspector and the Preferences does not seem
to effect the notebooks?
