Thanks Ash, I thought I had yet another problem, but this time I figured it out on my own. I got it that I can only change the color of individual letters when I start with colored text. The next problem was I couldn't change any of the letters to black. Actually, I was able to, but then a gray rectangle was left around the letter that I didn't know how to get rid of. Finally, I got it by going to another letter, clicking on blk & white under adjustments, which turned the letter gray, then I went over it again with the brightness/contrast and that did it w/o leaving the rectangle around the letter. Thanks again to everyone.
