text toolbar not showing

[kaya]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

I am putting text onto a picture in my pictures. The first time I tried it,
when I clicked on text, a toolbar came up, giving me options to choose fonts
etc. When I closed the picture, I pressed x on the text toolbar, and now, it
won't appear again when I try to do the same thing. I tried to click it on
the view menu, but it is not one of the highlighted items any more(it appears
in grey, rather than black). What can I do to enable the text toolbar again?
any help will be most appreciated.

What program are you using?

For MS Paint...

To type and format text
You can only enter text into an image when you are in normal view. To
display the normal view, on the View menu, point to Zoom, and then click
Normal size.

Notes
You can enter text in a text box only once. When you click outside the box,
the text is converted to a graphic image and you cannot make it active
again.

kaya,

If Normal Size is grayed out, that means that you are already in Normal
Size.

[[You can enter text in a text box only once. When you click outside the
box,
the text is converted to a graphic image and you cannot make it active
again.]]

You have to try again. You only get the one chance.
