DeMar Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 This is just a simple question, but I've spent too much time searching elsewhere. Where is the frame text tool? In the help file, the icon for it is a square with an upper case T inside. I see the artistic text tool, pen, pencil, vector brush... No frame text tool. I've selected the layer I want to put text in. I can't find the icon and I can't find a menu choice to insert text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h_d Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Hi @DeMar, Click on the tiny near-invisible grey arrow in the bottom right of the Artistic Text tool. Alternatively, typing T on the keyboard will toggle between the two text tools. Hope this helps!

Signified by a little black triangle in the bottom right-hand corner. Click on the tool and wait a second and the group pops-out You can also right click which pops it out instantly.
