Hi folks, not sure what happened to my text took. I had it set to a specific color and size and its now a light blue that moves when the chart moves. Strange. How can i fix this? I already tried a few times in tool config and it wont change to what i would like. Thank you!!! |

We want you to right-click on that particular text drawing, and select Chart Drawing Properties from the displayed menu. Is the drawing specified as Text or Stationary Text?

There are two different text drawing options: - Type Text: Allows you to place text relative to bars and the text will move as the chart is moved. - Stationary Text: Allows you to place text relative to the graphics area. The text will not move as the chart is moved. It sounds like you chose the wrong text tool for what you are wanting. Make sure you select the text tool that you want for the particular situation. With regards to colors, that is going to depend on the configuration that you have setup and the selected configuration when you create the drawing.
