So, according to the manual: "The Text menu appears when the Text tool is selected for editing." Well, I have selected the text tool and entered the text I wanted to enter. However, I cannot seem to get the dialog box to come up (I want to change the font size of the test). I have clicked and double clicked in various ways on the "T" for the text tool as well as on the box of text that I have and yet I see no dialog box or menu. ????

Oh never mind. I figured it out. Seems like posting a question here is the best way to get something to work. Sort of like bringing the car into the shop. "But it was making that weird noise before!"

You are not alone.
Most of us have been there.
And this forum has several threads containing only 2 postings from the same user where the second posting says something like:
