Illustrator: text color problem... need help soon

Posted:

I'm not that proficient at Illustrator and usually just use it to create rather simple images compared to what some of the guys here manage to do with Photoshop.



Working on a project this morning in Illustrator I was playing around with text ideas, changing size, angle, font, color, everything.



Suddenly, every time I change text color, it adds the color around the text, leaving the text black, so I can't, for example, make THIS. It would be slightly bolder with the characters themselves black with a green outline.



Even created a new document and the problem persists.



Did I change a setting or something?



What can I do?



The project I am working on today needs to be finished Wednesday or Thursday at the latest.

    Sorry. I got it. I was using swatches and didn't realize that the color setting for line and fill applied to text; must have hit it somewhere along the way. Guess I'm very old school (used to putting different colors on top of each other).
