At the bottom of the page in MS4, there is a page number that reads 1. Do you know how to delete this? With Story files, you can turn off pagination (the number) by closing all pages so you can see the story file (all the pages in thumbnail format). From the main menu, select [...]

The only way I can figure out how to do it is to delete the settings folder. You can find this in the preferences window (Main Menu: File => Preferences, then click the Folder Path link). Copy the path seen in the "Use Data Folder Location" text box (usually My Documents/Smith Micro/MangaStudio4 Settings), open Windows [...]

From the main menu: Window => Beginner’s Assistant. Or, F10 on your keyboard. Ask away!

I’m going to go on the assumption that you’re talking about word balloons, and not Manga Studio’s tool dialog boxes. Yes, you can change the color of both the word balloon, and the outline (if you’re using MS EX). When you enter text you’ll see the properties window opens. Click on the tab that says [...]

I suppose it would, in a way. If I remember correctly, switching to mouse mode will turn off pressure sensitivity, so you may lose that in the process. Long story short: test it out and see if it works for you. Ask away!

1. Select the pen/pencil/etc you wish to chang ethe pen pressure on. 2. Open the Pen Tool Options window (Window->Tool Options from the main menu, or F3 on your keyboard). 3. On the Pen Tool Options Window, click the green circle next to the "Size" option. This will bring up the Brush Control window. 4. [...]

Thanks. Copying and pasting anything in Manga Studio is pretty much the same as other art programs. Use the lasso or marquee tool to select the item, and press Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on the Mac) to copy and Ctrl+V (Cmd+V) to paste. The item you’ve pasted will be on a new layer. To merge the new [...]

The best way I can come up with that solution is to create the shape on a layer (which will create the outline of the shape), then use the fill tool to then fill in the shape. Ask away!
