Philip Reeves Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I'm using the latest update (November 2018) on my iMac. I created a table with optima regular 14 point. Half way through populating the table all the text suddenly went light grey. I spent a while trying to use the colour when; the show table tab etc. etc. In the end, I deleted the whole table (column by column as I couldn't find a delete table tab), and started again with a new table. I now have black, optima, regular, 14 point and I'll leave the page at that for fear of going prematurely grey! What did I do wrong?

firstdefence Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Maybe you altered the opacity of the text?

Philip Reeves Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 Hi Firstdefence, Thank you for this suggestion for which I am grateful. I did try to alter the opacity as a way to change it back to black, but it did not appear to have any effect. I think there's quite a learning curve with the use of tables, as things stand. I've also noticed that selecting the whole table (including the headers) doesn't guarantee being able to change the font overall - it seems to revert to the generic arial font. I'll stick with it as, though, as I really like Publisher. Kind regards, Philip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
