adding text problem in PSP X3. Same routine fine in PSP X

[quinquereme]

When I was using PSP X I was able to add text to a template document simply by pressing the 'A' text tool, positioning the cursor, left clicking to open the text entry box and then typing (usually just the date), this I can't do in PSP X3 as the ' highlighted input box' hovers over a saved documents' previous input - (usually a month) and won't open or move without dragging the month with it. The cursor offers spurious flashes before leaving me with a flashing horizontal bar unable to proceed. The problem still occurs regardless of which previously saved and archived document I try to make adjustments to.


I had this problem too 12 months ago with a trial version which I had expected was a download fault but I think not. The routine still works fine on PSP X so I would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Cheers,Quin

Hi, I've realised that the 'apply changes' box needed ticking before perservering! All is well now.

After clicking on the text tool or the 'A' text tool, you will need to specify the FOREGROUND and BAcKGROUND color first then type away.. after typing, you will need to click on the "green circle" APPLY CHANGES button that you can see at the upper left corner of the screen. Right below the scanner icon.

Here's a quick video on how to place a text or use the text tool of PSP X3.



If you're PSP X3 is behaving differently, I suggest that you download all the updates from http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/ ... 9872271743
