Is anyone else entering a new text box and having the Alignment menu greyed-out?

Started happening to me (or at least I first noticed it) after updating to Sonoma 14.4.1.

I know of several Alignment sub-menus in Finale, but I do not know of any Alignment menu.

Are you talking about the Alignment sub-menu in the Text menu?

Yes—the Alignment SUB-menu in the Text menu (sorry)

The Alignment feature only refers to a text box that's page attached. To "align" your text in the text box, use Justification.
