I'm hunting and pecking my way through this great program (I'm not a graphic designer by any stretch and freely admit I have no idea what half of the terminology is here).

I managed to change the font color from black to white (don't ask me how).

(a)  I'd like to change it back and, yes, I already tried just going into font and choosing 'black'.  No such luck.

(b)  Along the way, I saw the font/text color as a nice blue blend, which made me suspect I had created a background somehow that was coming through or had varied the opaque setting.  Was not able to recreate that either.

(c)  Also in there, I clicked on “with graphic” and the color of the text tranformed into a nice marbled brown, which again led me to think that there was a background and opaqueness setting I was missing.

Thanks in advance.
