When I change the color of a word, the entire word layout changes. I get the weighting, font, and layout just the way I want it (using 5 colors), but I see a few words of the same color next to each other so I want to change those colors individually. For some reason, changing the color of one word, moves that word and changes the entire layout of words. I then try to fix the colors based on the new layout, but it keeps happening. I’m chasing my tail. Why is the word placement/layout changing when I change the color of a word? Thanks very much!

Good news, this issue has been addressed. Changing a word’s color no longer affects its position within the word cloud. Please try!

How do you change individual word colors?

In the word list. The color column.
