I purchased TaskPaper for the obvious reason of trying to maintain some semblance of order in my life. With expectations of an update that would address the ability to embellish ( Color, Highlite, bold, italic, etc.), a Project, Task, character, word, or sentence. Not only can't this be done but when an attempt is made the entire page reverts to a standard textedit document. I then have to go through the tedious process of recreating the page, this is not a time saver. Is there a possibility you will be adding this ability to the program in the immediate future.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. TaskPaper is based on a plain text file format, so you'll never be able to select some text and mark it as bold, italic, change the font, etc, since there is no place in the file format to store that information. And I wouldn't want to change to another file format, TaskPaper's plain text format is one of it's biggest selling points.
But when Taskpaper displays one of these files it can add temporary styling that makes the document easier to read. For example, I'm sure you've noticed that projects in taskpaper render in a bigger bolder font. In the next version of TaskPaper (2.0, you can download dvelopment version of it from these forums now) you'll have much more flexibility on defining styles that get applied to you document when it is opened in TaskPaper.
I hope that helps.
