When editing larger text field (2 or more pages) everything slows down (there is a delay for every task - very frustrating). When "all text" is selected (ctrl+a) and click on Font Menu to change the font, it is difficult to select a new font (mouse arrow doesn't light-up the new font selection) or if it does - I select the new font but nothing happens. Anybody can help? I do have serv.pack1 installed
go 'Tools-Options', 'Workspace-Text-Fonts' then turn off 'Use font to display font name'.
it would be useful to resolve such a problem.
thanks
Thank you, it helped with the font selection speed!
But over all it still has a delay on every performed task the page with the larger text areas.
How many fonts do you have installed as active?
I uploaded a short video (WMV) of one of the major problems I am having with the text formating feature. Any constructive comments welcomed :)

hi,
I was able to change here, if I was fast. :-D
But, better way for the moment is to change with story editor;
CTRL + SHiFT+T
then
CTRL+HOME
CTRL + SHiFT+END
this selects all text.
change your font now
then leave the editor.
This method updates all text - even in linked frames. Maybe the workaround you need for the moment.

Tank You Jeff;
That helped!..... that way it seems to work just fine! I could even turn back on the "Show flyout with font sample beside font list" out of the Workspace/Text/Fonts menu and it works fast.
Good tip. thanks again.
M.P.

Also, try this tip, it changed my X4 experience to become as fast as X3.
