Hey all,
Probably a really simple & silly question, but I can't seem to find a way to add a stand alone page with just text, no motion or gizmos.
What am I missing?
Thanks to all replies.

Hi Storyteller

Just insert a colour board.

Here's a tutorial from our friends at PDtoots - they're using PD8 but the principals are the same.

Happy editing

Went to check out the Color Boards & found that there is nothing in that area, NO colors to pick from. Where do I get them?
Them.

Isn't there a 'create new' option in the Color Board area? Happing editing

The image shows two routes to call up the Color Boards.

Thanks all,
"Restore to Default" did the trick. Can see the main choices now.
Now I understand that I can also create my unique colors combos.
