I've just started with version 1.2.4.1 by reading all 12 online manual pages and the brief tutorial that explains menus. I have a solid understanding of how to do basic tasks, but my first attempt to put a headline in a text frame is not working as expected. This is on Slackware-10.2
After setting up page templates for a two-page brochure (with vertical guides), I added a text frame at the top of the first page. A right-click with the trackball brought up the menu and I selected "Edit text." In the story board editor I entered the text I want, changed the font (typeface and point size) and changed tracking to -2.0 pts. Then I selected "Update text frame and exit." Well, the dialog box goes away, but the text remains the same as before: wrong font. When I bring up the story board editor again, the font has been reset to the default, not to what I had changed it. Thinking I was missing something, after making the changes I wanted I tried to save the text to a file. After naming the file and clicking "OK" I tried to reload the file from disk. It's not there; was not written. What might I be doing incorrectly? I'd really like to get this simple brochure finished today. TIA, Rich -- Richard B.
