Hello lneill,

you need to change text properties. So:

Select the hidden text.
Then go to "Format - Font" or press CTRL + D
In the middle of the window that appears you will find a set of check boxes.
The last one is called "Hidden text".
Uncheck it and your text is now normal.

I hope it helps

If not, contact me via my website
