We are having a problem where text inserted into a shape mysteriously becomes invisible inside the shape (see the image below). At one point, all the colored boxes in the left column had the numbers 1-6 displayed, just like the numbers in the right column. When or why they disappeared is still a mystery to us, but they are definitely invisible.
The mystery is that the text is still inside the objects and can be viewed when the text is selected with the TEXT tool, as you can see with the number "1" in the top box. But as soon as you exit, the number disappears again. As such, we know the text is there and the black color does not match the shape fill, so that is not the problem. Like the top box, the text in each of the boxes below becomes visible when selected with the text tool.
We have tried every way possible to get the text to display properly but cannot find the solution. We have changed and reapplied colors to the text, removed and restored color to the shape, checked all object attributes and text attributes between the two columns, and can find no problem. We have also checked the text size (no red marquee indicating it is too large for the shape), resized the shape, checked for inadvertent line returns, and other paragraph spacing issues. Furthermore, we see no tools for ordering the text to the front or back of the linked shape. It is as if the text is behind the shape fill, but deleting the fill or changing the transparency does nothing to expose the inserted text.
We would certainly appreciate any assistance anyone can provide with this frustrating anomaly!
Hello,1. Open Object Manager and see Layer where text objects are. Is Layer visible, editable, printable? Set all of this to ON. 2. Drag layer with text objects at front of all other layers3. Save File As an older version of Corel and open4. Save problem File As Corel X5 version if possible and send me to corel@med-bg.comGreetings
We still don't understand the problem but can share our work-around until someone finds something better. In the above case, select each colored rectangle separately, that contains invisible text, in the Object Manager. Now Right-click the rectangle in the Object Manager, select ‘Text Frame’ from the context dropdown, and then select the NONE option. Now right-click the same rectangle in the Object Manager again, select ‘Text Frame’, from the context dropdown, and then select the ‘Insert Empty Text Frame’ option. The rectangles (or other shapes) now have new text frames inside each object, and you can now type or copy and paste new content that will remain visible.
Hello, againI try to put numbers/letters in shape and see that text/number disappear when is too big. Try to make numbers a little smaller size.
I will look for other reasons
