How to change text color in Xara Web Designer (Premium) 9

[phillipgarding]

I feel like an idiot, but I can't figure out how to change the text color in Xara Web Designer 9. Every other HTML/text editor in the world has a color button on the text toolbar, but not Xara. I have searched the help file, but I don't see it. This should be trivial to do. I don't want any special effects, I just want red text instead of black text. Am I missing something obvious? Can someone explain the trick to changing font color?



Thanks,
Phil.

With the Select tool, click on the text line or block.
Click a colour on the colour line or open the Colour editor and play around with the Local fill colour.

It is the same for text or any shape, so the method is consistent.

In text mode, highlight a section or text and do the same as my #2 post.

Welcome to TalkGraphics Phillip

Web Designer 9 is not an HTML Text Editor.

it is a bit depressing sometimes how many assume that it is... and then come unstuck....

Thanks for the explanation.

I understand that Web Designer is not an HTML editor, however, it provides text editing controls like Bold, Italic, Font, Size, etc. just like every word processor and HTML editor on the planet -- except for changing color. That is different, hidden, and undocumented.

I appreciate your help!
