Changes were made to the original code, here is the latest...

}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
public string Contents
{

}
private void MTextForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
textBox1.Focus();
textBox1.SelectAll(); // onLoad form select all text
}
private void MTextForm_Closed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e)
{
textBox1.Text = OrigMText;
}
private void OnClick_ApplyChanges(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
textBox1.Text = Contents;
OrigMText = Contents;
Close();
}
}
}
TO-DO:
1. Add one button to undo the mtext with the original contents (showing the color formatting)
2. Add the Uppercase, Lowercase, Uppercase first characters.
