Styles do not work in 'To Do' items

Depending on what part of Lotus Notes I’m using, I can (or can not) cycle through the style formatting. [Lotus Notes ver 8.0.2]

While creating an email message, the F11 does indeed work. Cool.

But…

But, when I’m creating a “To Do” item, the F11 key does not work. The ‘styles’ icon at the top of the screen is “greyed out” and also does not work.

Since I use the “To Do” application all the time, it is quite hanous issue.

BTW. I have modified the F11 format sequence to include a check box list (as opposed to a bulleted list).

Anyone else out there with the same problem?
