Why is it (in some cases) when I use the text box to add text it won't let me change the font, size, color, etc.

Hi --

It depends on what you have selected. If you select the text within a comment (which a text box is) you can make changes to the contents of the comment; otherwise, selecting the text box itself offers choices in the appearance of the comment overall.

Try using the Properties Bar to see what you are selecting. Choose View > Toolbars > Properties Bar. When the comment or its contents are selected you'll see the different options on the toolbar.donna.
