box fills 1

[maychild]

I am using a lot of fill boxes, which worked fine until now. I no longer seem to be able to create an opaque white box. I can make it black and graded but not white. Any ideas? Thanks!

Click on the box to select it.
Clck on the "fill" box and then click the "apply color" box -- make sure white is the color selected.

Thanks Texasjoe. This feature isn't working. I can't fill the boxes with color, grey, or opaque white. I have to switch from three to four colors and back a couple of times before the box will fill with opaque white.

The strange thing is I can see all the fill changes in the color module, but they don't register in the Toolbox. I'll probably have to reinstall InDesign.

Someone suggested I might be having problems as a result of running Acrobat Reader 6. I've removed the program today, because it apparently did interfere with other programs. If you have any further tips, I'd be grateful to have them.

Yes, you may have to reinstall InDesign, or you may have a corrupted file.

Try copy and pasting all your material into a new file and see if that helps.

Good luck!

Thank you very much, will do!

I removed Acrobat Reader 6, and the problem solved itself! I didn't even have to reload InDesign. Thanks again.
