Yes.

Not really.  This sample has the words one colour per line.  Each word
is on a line by itself.  I wish to change colour *within* one single
line of text.

I am perfectly able to change colours, but so far I can only do that
on a line boundary.  I can do

  red
  green
  blue

but I am unable to do

  red green blue

where all three words are on the same line.  Sorry if I was not clear
before, I thought saying "within a line" would describe what I am
trying to do.

Thanks,

Jonathan
