Text Changes Boldness or Shadow or Something?

[LSweet]

Hi! I'm looking for some help with this issue that has happened a few times now. I think I am hitting a keyboard command. It usually happens when I am working on a different page and don't notice the issue until later. 

 

I have checked for consistency between the correct and incorrect formatted text and cannot find any differences in the Text Frame window, except that the font color is listed as none. I have also check for shadow features in Layer Effects.

 

Thank you!

Check to see if the text has a stroke applied.

@MikeW Are you talking about this stroke, or is there another stroke?

[MikeW]

Yes, but select the text and look.

@MikeW Selecting the text showed the same.

@Alfred Thank you! I was looking for that an hour ago!

 

[MikeW]

Click on the stroke tab with text selected.

@MikeWThank you! That was it!

Is there a keyboard shortcut for Stroke? (I thought it happened when I typed a capital S.)

[Old Bruce]

You can set one

@Old Bruce, I'm not really interested in setting one atm; I'm trying to avoid this happening again, so I want to know how it happened when I was working on a different page.

It may have been the X key which is next to the S key

Shift+X will swap stoke and fill - adding a "default" stroke colour/width if there was not one to start with
