Version 1.3 Update

This version fixes some bugs, attempts to address some issues for specific system configurations, and adds a minor (but useful) feature. This is primarily as bug-fix release, as most development time is being devoted to version 2.0 of the software.

Features added:
- Buttons to control text color based on block color.

Also, A helpful note from a TBA User: "For anyone who needs spell checking I can recommend tinySpell (www.tinyspell.com) which works with Text Block Author. It runs in the system tray and monitors what you type as you type. It pops up a tooltip if it detects a misspelt word and can also give an audio prompt as well. There is a freeware version too. "
