emhafores 0 Posted June 16 When I use the FrameText Tool to prepare a text I do not see the text when the textbox is placed on the canvas. Only when the box will be removed into the page, the characters are visible. Now I need to make the other layers invisible to have a clear view. Is it possible to change this manner?

R C-R 3,219 Posted June 16 I am not sure what you mean about getting a clear view, but if it is that you expect the text frame to have a fill color of its own instead of being transparent, in neither Designer nor Photo can the text frame itself be assigned a fill color. You can assign a background color to the text via the Character panel like in this text BG fill.afdesign file, but that won't fill the entire frame: An alternative is to add a filled rectangle or other shape layer & place it behind the text frame.

emhafores 0 Posted June 16 Sorry I am not clear enough. I want to place text in a layer and use the "Frame Text Tool" so I can position that block of text afterwards on the right place. Unfortunately it is not possible to read the text when a part of the FrameTextTool is over the canvas (outside the design) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
