Vista - MS Paint: Text feature unavailable

I am using Vista Home Basic 32-bit, and both the text button and the text toolbar in the View menu are grayed out in MS Paint. I have ensured that my image is at 100%, and am at a loss as to what else I can do to enable the text function. Any suggestions?

Hi AmAvocet,

As you can see, the Text Button is only active when the Zoom is set to 100%

The Text Button is not active at other Zoom settings, in this case 200%

Reset the Zoom to 100%, click on the Text Button, click anywhere on the image and then click View. Notice how the Text Toolbar can now be selected.

This is the toolbar that appears when you click on Text Toolbar. Select the required options here.

When you have selected your options, click on the Text Button again and then click on the image where you want the text to appear. Enter the text, as shown below.

Thanks, Dwarf!

I was absolutely sure that I had Zoom at 100%, but after reading your reply, the Text feature in Paint works exactly as you indicated. I have no idea where I went wrong, but I'm happy to see that it all is right now.

Perhaps you telekinetically fixed it for me.
