Text Tool

[Dempsey@doodle]

Where do I find my text tool? Does not appear in my tool bar (on left of screen). Thank you

For which Affinity program?

@Dempsey@doodle If you click View > Customise Tools you can add/remove icons from the left hand toolbar, it can also be reset to default.

Thank you for the help, much appreciated

And, next question, how do I type text into the text frame created by the Frame Text Tool ? Thank you

[walt.farrell]

Just type. But if that doesn't work, click (or perhaps double-click) in the frame and type.

[Dempsey@doodle]

Thanks. That worked. And another...how do I change color of the type? Sorry for the dumb questions, I'm new...

Using the Font Color well on the Context Toolbar is the easiest way:

By the way, you never answered the question about which application you're using. That may become important at some point, along with which OS you're using (Mac, or Windows).

For example, on Mac, and in Designer at least, that well may have the label "Fill", from what I've seen in the tutorials.
