Can't change line color

Community Beginner ,
Dec 04, 2018 Dec 04, 2018

I can't figure this out. I'm adding a line to my document and have no trouble changing the stroke width - I click on the Stroke panel on the right and adjust it there. However, when I select the line and go to the Swatch panel on the right to change the line color from grey to white, it does nothing. I've also tried going to Window, then Color and adjusting it there, again with no effect. Am I missing something, or is there a glitch?

That did it, thanks! I really wish it was easier to find that simple piece of information in the help documentation.

Sorry, folks, my first time posting, so I should have filled in more details.

What color did you try to change? Really the stroke color - or perhaps the fill color?

A screen shot would help.

(Also InDesign version and OS)

You're likely trying to change the fill color. Hit the x key to switch the focus to the stroke and then try again.
