mark-h Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I'm not sure if this is a bug or a new feature of 1.7. If you draw a shape with a colour fill, and then use the text tool to put text in this shape, the fill colour stays—in previous versions it would make your shape transparent. And once it's a shape text object, I can't find any way to change or remove the colour. The only colour I can change is that of the text. I am using 1.7.0.367 on Windows 10.

walt.farrell Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Only Publisher has support for setting/changing the fill or stroke of a Text Frame. I was rather surprised to see Designer keeping the fill/stroke settings when a shape is converted to a Text Frame, but I'm not sure if that is a bug or if it's Serif reacting to the user requests that those settings be retained when converting a shape to a Text Frame.

Staff Sean P Posted June 11, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 11, 2019 Hi mark-h, I've passed this on to development. Unfortunately the only way to do it is to select a text frame without a fill and go Edit > Copy. You can then select the filled text frame and use Edit > Paste Style. As Walt has said Publisher now has the ability to colour text frames, but this has had a knock on consequence in Designer, that means you cannot remove it using the UI.

Better than than nothing, although that does mean it also copies over the text style as well, so you have to get those matching first.
