Unable to enter text in text box
« on: July 06, 2010, 04:27 AM »
I am repeating the question asked by peteroneill1968: -

"I tried to add a text box to an image and I got the text box, but the text would not show up.  It was like the text color was set to white (it was not, it was set to black)."

I am having the same problem with my Windows 7 pc, can anyone help?

TQ

if you select the text you type do you see it then? can you screenshot the screen showing the text box with invisible text in it, so i can see the settings?  You can also email me directly (mouser@donationcoder.com)

Make sure the text size can fit in the text box. I tested it and it seems if it is too big then it will look like it is hidden as when I resized the text size down enough it showed up.

I have selected the exact same settings as you did and it works OK for me.  :huh:
