    When I try to enter a line of text such as:ย  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.ย 

    Do you have any negative values entered ?ย 

    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!
