Unable to enter text in Keynote
Hi
This is really bizarre. I'm trying to use Keynote for the first time. I created a new file and I've been editing the slide layouts so that I have something that will be suitable for my purposes.
Okay, so now I find I am unable to enter text in any text box in Keynote. I cannot enter text in a "placeholder" type of text box where it says "Double click to edit". I cannot enter text in a text box I introduce onto the slide. I cannot enter text into a text box defined in the "Appearance" part of the format pane on the right.
I cannot do any of this in my own Keynote file, nor can I do it in any other keynote file. If I uses command-N then select a template at random and open it I am unable to type text into any of the predefined areas for that.
What actually happens is that I put the insertion point in the text box and then nothing happens. I type, but not text appears.
There is no problem typing text in any other program on my MacBook Air.
So what is happening with Keynote?
Thank you.
