Can't Fill in FreeHand-Help!
All,
Would you please tell me what I might be doing wrong? In FreeHand 9 I am trying to apply fill colors to objects, and am getting nowhere. Whether or not I select the object, and whether or not I use the Fill Inspector or the Color List, I am only changing the line color, not the fill color. It doesn't matter that I'm dragging the color swatch directly onto the object. No dice. I've also removed the other layers of objects and have ungrouped the separate members of the motif. I'd greatly appreciate your direction.
Many thanks in advance,
Valerie

All,
I found the problem. I decided to investigate "Modify Object" and found that "odd-even fill" had been checked. Since I didn't even know this existed, I don't know how it got checked. I unchecked it and now have no problem filling objects.
Regards,
Valerie

I am proficient in freehand but really regret not having learnt illustrator which is a much better product.
