The background of my dtext editor is blue.  If I use blue lettering, I cannot see it to edit it.  Can you help me find the command(s) to set the backgrouand color?
 
Thanks.

1. Create a new text or edit an existing text.
2. Right-click and highlight "Editor Settings >" then select "Text Highlight Color..."
3. Adjust the settings to your desire.

Good Luck!!!

Perfect - Thank you very much!  That worked. 
 
While I have you here, is there any way to change how dtext is edited?  Currently it is edited in a little box that just shows the text at the same andgle and size in the drawing. Previous versions used to brig up a dialog box that you could see more clearly.  Is there a way to change how text is edited, or do I need to continue to zoom in so I can see the text I want to edit?
 
Thanks again.

It appears they ousted the box...BUT, if you right-click the text again, you can deselect the "Always display as WYSIWYG" and it will automatically enlarge the text so that you can view it without having to zoom in to see it.
