Text Editing Problem

[Sacopuntas1982]

I have a problem.

I'm new to LiveCycle - and everything (save for periodic crashes and odd interface issues) has been great - but I've since run into this serious problem:

I can delete things from a text object, change the font, color, etc  - but I cannot edit the text or add new text no matter what I try. It's clearly still accessible by the program, not locked under the edit menu,  and not responding to a right-click - edit text.

Have you guys run into this before? How can I fix this? It seems so simple.

Thanks in advance!

Are you running Designer 7.x or 8.0 by chance?

Do you mean objects of type 'Text Field' or 'Text'?

I'm running version 8 - Type Text.

Thanks for the quick response.

Basically the text object could not flow any larger because the object contained a bunch of line-feed characters (enter key) at the end of the text stream. By removing the line-feed characters the text object became editable again.
