Setting text colour in multiple boxes

[dominikg71541224]

Hello,

I would like to change text colour in multiple boxes. Although I pressed "type tool" it changes colours of text boxes, not text. Previously it worked, now it does the same as without selecting "Type tool". Could please help me, how to solve this issue? Thank you in advance.

In the swatches panel you have the Square selected.

Select the T symbol.

Best practice would be to assign a paragraph style. Styles are such a powerful formatting tool, but I've seen it multiple times, with the most stylish designs, that people don't use styles and when they do, they still modify the formatting manually.
