Paint Program Problem

Todd O. Cronkhite Native of Maine

>For the past few days with the help of a friend I've been trying to educate myself on using the Paint program in my computer. Things are going fairly well but there is one big hang-up that I'm having. Under the "view" button there is a "Text Tool Bar, ot Text Tool Box I forget it's name. At any rate mine is not in bold print so there for I cannot get into it and change my font side. I've tried several things, but have had no luck. :~(

Can anybody shed any light into the darkness for me?

>Lets see if I can help.

As far as I know, you cannot edit the text once you have finished typing and click outside your text box.

Oh, and you can only type text in the VIEW/ZOOM/ NORMAL SIZE view mode. Click the "A" button tool to draw your text box. Then you can enter text. While in the text entry mode, you can go to VIEW/TEXT TOOLBAR to change the font you are entering, but be warned, once you click outside the text entry box it is no longer text, but pixels an cannot be edited.

Hope this helps!
