Me too...nevernthought Id miss the simplicity of MS PUBLISHER

Oh - btw, sorry to the reference to the other Publisher. Was not aware of the rule. It won't happen again. I'm going to learn AF publisher if it kills me!

Walt Farrell! Thanks. That was the problem. A typo in my doc size!!!! It was supposed to be a 12x12 page for a scrapbook. I resized the box and like magic - the 12pt font looked normal. I knew it had to be something simple and silly. But through that error - I learned a lot! I learned about the line through the color wheel. Thanks to everyone for their help! I'm enjoying the learning curve. Jeri

Soooo, I opened untitled file....still I'm missing something very obvious. Here is the file I'm playing with. Thanks so much everyone. I'll check back later! af text issue file_Jeri.afpub

So, here is my screenshot. I don't think you can see the outline of the text frames.

okay...yes, the color panel screen shot showed me that I did have the line through the little circle. So, I cleared the line...picked red, still no text, not even with new text. (Artist text is now working - outside of the "text frames". hmmmm...I'll keep fiddling with it later this afternoon. I want to like this software as I've only used MS Publisher. And I really like A photo software. Thanks!

Using the Frame Text button - but the artistic text button doesn't work either??? My text box is big.

Thanks Walt - I've clicked all over! Lol. A left click brought up a "find in layers" box. I could see the text there. So, I guessing I've got some sort of strange small text or a color that matches my light blue background. Beats me.

Publishing is new to me. I can't believe that I can't get started! Page 1, text frame, style heading 1, start typing - NOTHING. I'm not using layers that I am aware of. I know this is not right! Put me on the right start path PLEASE! Humbly thankful. Jeri

I would love to see "acquire from scanner" feature for Windows 10 - currently, I have to use my pdf software, acquire the image, and save to jpeg - then open in AP. That would be great. Still would have to keep my pdf software for forms and such. But would love to see that feature added. My 2 cents. thx
