PUB: Text Frame Properties Command Not Available on Pop-up Menu (135826)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Publisher for Windows 3.0

This article was previously published under Q135826

SYMPTOMS

When you click a text frame with the right mouse button, the pop-up menu does not contain the Text Frame Properties command.

CAUSE

Clicking an object with the right mouse button brings up a menu of common actions that you can perform on that object. When you click with the right mouse button on a text frame, you get a menu of commands that involve manipulating the text frame. If you select some text first, Publisher assumes you want to perform some action on the selected text, and the pop- up menu contains only choices for manipulating that text.

If you have no text selected and you click a text frame with the right mouse button, the pop-up menu will contain the Text Frame Properties command.

RESOLUTION

To view the properties of a text frame that contains selected text, click Text Frame Properties on the Format menu. This command is available whenever you select a text frame.
