Fill tool and text

[MarionSh]

Recently I have used been using the fill tool to colour individual words in text boxes, but I have noticed that it doesn't work when the text box is locked - could it?

BTW I use this for cloze activities (set up word as same colour as background, then fill in another colour), highlighting key/problem words etc.
I have also set up a text box with all the children's names, and use the filll tool to colour the names of those ready to start work/go home etc (this has proved a very effective incentive - they love to see their name change colour!).

I just tried this on my Mac and the fill tool for text works whether the text is locked on not.

Anyone with a PC out there to try? Too lazy to get mine out!

Fill tool doesn't work for me when text is locked The fill seems to work through the text and go straight to the background! Have tried this with the text on all three layers as well.
