Story Editor not working

[ronwooduk]

I am having problems with the story editor. I can create a text box and open the story editor and type in text. However it does not insert the text onto the page when I click the green tick symbol. When I have managed to get text to appear it will not let me edit it. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong please. Many thanks.

1. don't use the story editor, except if you really need it (just double click the text frame and edit the text: does this work?)

2. the frame or the layer might be locked. can you edit the text in a new document?
