Question

Front is all uppercase, won't go to lower case

This just happened out of the blue this morning, was working fine last night.

The problem is that my text is stuck in upper case.

1. The caps lock key is not on
2. I am not using an all upper case text- it happens regardless of font type
3. I have tried to reset my tools and it hasn't worked.

Any ideas?

Oh and I am using PSE6.0

No, not the tab, the entire editor (or all of PSE, as opposed to the organizer if you have the mac version). You do this as you start the program, not once it's already running.

Okay. I clicked on Create, depressed ctrl+alt+shift, then pressed Edit. I held the keys for 1,5 minutes. Nothing popped up. Is there another way to delete settings?

On my keyboard, those keys are easily accessible by one hand while you use the other to click to start the editor.

Corrupt preferences cause most of the problems in the PSE editor.

Just exactly how are you supposed to do that? I only have two hands. And what the *&%^ caused it in the first place.

Quit the editor, then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift on a mac). Keep holding the keys till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

    Barbara, I am running E8 on WIN 7 and I have the same caps lock problem stuck on when I am in the Create mode.  I have tried the method you described in this blog, but it is not working.  Is there any other troubleshooting methods other than a re-install?

    Thanks

    Sue

    Are you saying that it works fine in full edit, but just not in Create?
