Designer: Change color of circle with text running on it.


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I create a circle in Designer (which I access from Publisher) and I write some text around the edge of the circle. I now can find no way to either delete the circle nor to change the colour of the circle to white so that it does not show up. If I change the colour of the outline it changes the colour of the outline on the text and not on the circle. Similarly if I change the colour of the fill it only applies it to the text.

I am aware that this has converted the circle to a text frame and according to another thread here that I read I'm supposed to open a pallet called Text Frame but I have no pallet by that name under View>Studio so I see no way of accessing that.

Can anyone please help as this is driving me mad!
Thanks very much,
Phil

-Hi Phil, I am having the same issue but I can’t see the reply to your question from “Move Along People.” Did you find a solution? Thanks Mog

The solution is the Text Frame panel in the Studio in Publisher, which has controls for the Stroke and Fill of the Text Frame (or, as it turns out, for the text path).

Thanks Walt, I tried it but the text frame was greyed out and wouldn’t let me change anything. I re-drew the circle and text as it was quicker than trying to figure out how to delete the colour in the circle. It would be good to be able to change it for future but still unclear how to do it. Thanks again.

Sorry meant to quote you, just geting used to this system as I don’t use it very often! Incase you missed the last message "I tried it but the text frame was greyed out and wouldn’t let me change anything.

I would need to see some screenshots, or even better, you could upload a sample document with the problem.
