Designer - Text has pink background


Recommended Posts

So I have a strange situation where my any text I type now has a pink background. The background is set as transparent/no fill. I can over ride with a different colour but I cannot get no colour it is always pink! There are no effects or styles present. No adjustment layers, and it is not part of a another layer with any kind of filter. Any new text I add as normal on top has a pink background. If I start a new doc this does not seem to happen though.

You can't set the background colour for text objects in Designer but you can in Publisher. I assume you opened something that had been created in Publisher or another app that supports coloured backgrounds. Once you've edited some text that has a coloured background, it might become the default for future text objects that you create which is rather inconvenient since there's no way to change it.

The solution, if you have a universal license, is to edit it in Publisher and change the background back to clear with the Text Frame panel.

So there is an option to set background colour in designer. As i explained I can change this to any other colour on the character panel background colour option, but if I get rid of it, it reverts to pink.

 

And no I haven't opened anything from anywhere I just created the text in designer and it automatically had the pink background on.

 

However, I finally found another similar thread I didn't see before that addressed this problem... solution: If I go to Edit > Defaults > Revert, this resolved the issue. No idea how it happened in the first place though

Hi, yes I just replied to that one few minutes ago. I did look for a few hours first and couldn't find anything but alas found this just after creating this thread
