I have had EQ7 since it came out but have used it very little. Last night I decided to attempt a quilt label. What I can't figure out is when typing the text it is white and I can't see what I'm typing. I have selected Arial Black as the font and bold. What I get after I set the text are letters that look like they are white in the middle outlined with a black line.

How can I get the letters to show up in black when typing and have them appear normally?

Any help would be appreciated.

WOW, I never knew this available. Did you read the information in the help section?? I entered "How do I Create a Quilt Label". Hope you know that some printers ink doesn't work well and will wash out when washed.

Yes, I was in the help section many times last night - LOL. Anyway, it has nothing to do with printing it out - it has to do with the set up. I have printed labels before using another program with success but I want to use my EQ. I'm hoping someone can help because I spent several hours on this last night and it's looking good and I want to be able to print it.

I just watched the little help video. Have you tried changing to a different font just to see how it looks on your screen? I wonder if you tried a print out on regular paper how it would print? http://doyoueq.com/lessons/creating-...labels-in-eq7/

Thank you thimblebug. Yes, I have tried different fonts. I just can't figure out why, when I type my information ,it is white and it is hard to see. I will give it another try based on this video. Thanks.

Then Kitty, just send EQ an email with all the data you can provide. They have an excellent technical staff and they could guide you thru the problem. I have owned a version of EQ since 1995 and they have assisted me with resolving various problems I have had over the years.
