When I have trouble remembering a new workflow, I put it on a post-it until I master it-if that helps.Īnyway I have discovered other anomalies where tool behavior gets broken somehow. If you want to change what the text looks like, just select the text you want to update with the Type tool first. I totally hear what you are saying, but SJRiegel was correct to identify how your selection was causing the issue. Original text background = none then the new background should = none when applied.Īs a career trainer on InDesign (and other Adobe applications), my personal opinion is that sometimes we have to let go of how we think things should work, and just focus on how they actually work. It works sometimes, but even if what you say is the default behavior, it is the wrong behavior in my opinion because if it is sampling the background color of the original text box it should apply the same background color to the new block but it doesn't.
