    When I try to enter a line of text such as:  Now is the time

    it appears flipped as: emit eht si woN

    How did this happen and how do I fix it?? Thanks in advance!

    With the text tool active.

    Can you check in the text spacing settings on the text toolbar. 

    Do you have any negative values entered ? 

    See the attached screenshot.

    Perhaps that was my problem, but I can't check it because I decided to "reset" the system preferences. This reset seems to have corrected the problem.

    Thank you for you quick response!
