    I have just accessed this site for the first time. Greeeaat. I have had a lot of issues with the eyedropper tool. I cannot find the common denominator, but I have ads that I try to use eyedropper tool to copy character specs from one copy block to another and I get outline text instead. I thought I found the answer with the command click but it still happens. I have tried clicking everything off except character in case it it picking up specs from the border or something but no luck. Any suggestions?
