Editing text has different color than active color

Using the word processor for editing text, I have started to noticed when editing text the color in the Text Editor is not the Active color.
Is there a way to make the Word Processor use the Active color without having to keep changing the color while I'm in the text editor?

Thanks

  • I noticed your attribute setting for colour   next to level name  is  not Bylevel  this may be  part of the  problem, also check no level override is being applied...

    I have to check  later on my  system if that is what is causing the issue ...  but it may help to make sure everything is always by level....

  • The colour selection used in the Word Processor text editor relates back to what has been defined within the Text style being used. That is, the selected Text Style can define the colour seperately for the text being placed. The Active Colour does not control this when the Colour picker option has been ticked in the Text Style.

    If this is turned off or unticked then you should find that the colour picker is greyed out in the Word Processor and the text colour is being defined by the Active Colour.
