What you have to do in order to highlight the lettering icon is first click the white 'sheet of paper" icon at the top left of the screen. When you do that the big "A" icon will work. Now there may be a better way but this is how I got it to work. I did not take the software class becaue I bought the machine without software. I only took the first couple of days of class dealing with the machine. Then a year later I bought Design Shop so I have been on my own. I just click like mad and see what happens. I have plain old Design Shop too. I have often wonder if I should upgrade to Pro+. I mostly do lettering with Design Shop but I do have other software. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
