jrkay Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 The style, Heading 1 is the right colour (dark red) everywhere else in the whole document, nothing I do will get this particular piece of text to change to the correct colour. Can anyone suggest what might be the problem please? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Could you provide a sample .afpub file? Just enough (one or two pages) to show a heading that has the proper color and the one that is wrong.

Wosven Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 It looks like the colour of the underlining, that seems not active, that's not where you modify text colour. It's in the main Colour palettes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore a sample document would allow a quick test. So for instance I am not sure if any text is selected in your screenshot (e.g. whether the gray is a text style background). Note that if you just select a text frame with the move tool the given info in various panels may be confusing because it often appears to represent the very first glyph within the frame only. So to apply the red you either must select the according text before applying the color – or select the frame with the move tool before applying the color. 3 hours ago, Wosven said: It looks like the colour of the underlining, that seems not active, that's not where you modify text colour. Sorry, this is an error. This color field indeed can be used to set the font color.

You're right, an nième way to give colour... The fun part is that I never "saw" this colourfull rectangle (I don't work only with black text!), but I click a lot around to select a font or the size, etc. Iwould have been able to give the full buttons list in this context toolbar, but the colour...

thomaso Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Wosven, I know that feeling. I can still be surprised when I occasionally read about a workflow with a specific UI element - because I haven't used it yet, although I often use its function. I assume that most users prefer the way they are used to. In fact, this also can be seen as a point for the UI quality, that is, it provides access in several ways.

Strangely enough I started to do this by CTRL C on page 60 and this is what it produced, I also printed it out as well and it came out the proper colour so I shan't be trying to change it any more. Seems like an occasional peculiarity I am going to learn to live with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like an occasional peculiarity I am going to learn to live with I don't understand how exactly your "CTRL C" would influence the text color. Maybe the "occasional peculiarity" isn't something you have to live with but rather was an inefficient workflow before which not will occur again since you discovered how to set text color? Possibly you confused text fill and stroke color before (without stroke width)?

walt.farrell Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 If you do want to investigate it further: File > Save As... to save a copy under a different name. Open the copy. Using the Pages panel, select and delete the pages you don't want to keep. Note that you can select multiple pages at a time, and delete all the selected pages with one operation. File > Save As... again to save a copy under a different name. Upload the file you saved in step 4.

jrkay Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 Thank you Tomaso for your interest, I assure you that the text colour was set when I set the text style for Heading 1 which i understand is the proper method of doing this, although I must plead guilty of inefficiency, adjusting after many years of PagePlus experience. Thank you Walt, you have always given good and tolerant advice, even to those labouring under an "inefficient workflow." I don't think the problem is important enough to me to spend any more time on it really. Thank you again. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
