getting a system bong

I make a document in Photoshop 2023, in Ventura 13.2 on a 19,1 iMac.

I add a type layer, color the type.

I select one line of the text.

Go to add a WOW style to one line of type.

Click on the style

The iMac beeps the system bong.

If I try to quit Photoshop quit is grayed out.

Why can I no longer edit layers without the beeping?

What have I left on or need to turn off?

Correct answer jane-e

Kevin, to style w the WOW styles, APS must be out of type mode?

I selected one line of text (ended at a return). Tried to apply the style, beep beep.

I hit the check mark, turned off type mode, BUT then the type was deselected.

So I must style every line in the type box. Is this correct?

When you apply styles from the Styles panel, they are a collection of Layer Effects.

They apply to everything on the current layer
You cannot use your Type tool with text selected
Instead, use your Move tool and click on a Style. Look in the Layers panel to see the Effects
To edit an Effect, such as Bevel, double-click it in the Layers panel.

Why are you coloring the text before applying the style? Isn't the color part of the style definition?

Are you using Point type (click and type) or Paragraph type (drag with type tool, then type)?

Is the "WOW style" a paragraph style or a character style? How is it defined? Or is it a graphic style?
Show a screenshot of the definition.

Have you exited Text mode by clicking the checkbox or choosing cancel?

Please clarify and show screen shots.

@jane-e if this is the same WOW (World of Warcraft) style I am thinking of its a Layer Style not a paragraph or character style.

Kevin, Maybe I have forgotten that if I want the text styled differently than the second line of text I must keep the lines separated as two layers. But I swear I have never used the checkmark since Photoshp 3. But I have been away from daily useage for awhile.

Yes, it is WOW, not World of Warcraft

Does the same thing happen with any style or just the WOW imported style?

What happens if you hit Esc or Enter? Wondering if there is a dialog box hidden somewhere requiring action.

If I hit esc the type is no longer selected.

If I hit return the line of text I selected is deleted

Also all styles the same beep

Try this - enter your plain text and exit the type tool.

Select the type layer using the Move tool and apply the style.

Same results?
