Hi I am unable to change text size while using templates - it’s tiny!! I have option to nbold or underline but there is no place on bottom or floating toolbars that offers this - can anyone advise.

    I think I've solved the issue. I've opened up my list of programs and deleted Microsoft Whiteboard and used an effective tool instead of a bizarre, backwards and non-functional tool.

    LOL - Reminds me of the instructions on how to drink decaf coffee

    1. Pour a cup of decaf
    2. Dump it out
    3. Pour regular coffee instead.

    Agreed. I thought I'd found the perfect solution to being able to brainstorm some ideas but I need to be able to read the text in one box whilst having visual reference to the others. Having to zoom so wildly into a text box in order to read it, means I lose sight of other text boxes, rendering Whiteboard utterly useless to my needs. Anyone have any suggestions as to a different product I can use, that works!

    I've have spent similar painstaking time trying to figure this out. One thing I've discovered that I don't believe is talked about enough is the fact that if you use the 'Text' tool and create text, then the sizing of that object WILL adjust the size of the text.

    So I think the workaround here is to add a text box and overlay it on an object, instead of having text in the object itself. You then have control over increasing/decreasing text size regardless of object size.

    Frustrating to say the least
