I've checked the settings for the tool and selected all. I used to be able to have some text, then, when wanting to match the font, color, and size to some text already on my document, I could just hit the eyedropper and it would format it to be identical, well almost. (It has never done stroke right, as in aligned outside)
But now I don't get the little "T" next to the eyedropper at all??? Did they delete this feature as well??
