Can't use handwriting animation Premiere Pro

[Guest]

Hello and thank in advance for your help! Going a bit insane...

I'm editing a video and wanted to add the handwriting effect. I've made the text layer and added the "write-on" effect as per shown on tutorials. But the next step is to click the square sign beside the Fx (toggle on-off) sign to actually animate the text - well I don't have such square... My Mac is running Mojabe 10.14.6 and my Premiere version is 13.1.4 - I'm assuming this must be the issue but I don't have any updates? 

Hope you can help!

No transform icon anymore. Just highlight the text.

Thanks so much for your help Ann! Can you expand a bit more on how to go from there? I still can't seem to achieve the effect.

You need to be more specifec. Cannot highlight the effect? No wireframe in the Program monitor or what?

Like Ann mentioned, if you're using the newer version you won't see the transform icon 

You just did to select/highlight name of the effect.
