How can I change the color of text typed with typewriter? And if this isn't possible now, is it a feature that will appear in later versons?

Yes you can do this in the current release - If you highlight the text required with your cursor and then right click - from the Drop down menu select the bottom option - 'Properties' - from there you can select the Stroke and Fill color properties.
If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.

That's not what I see. I change the Stroke color and this changes the color of the border. Fill does what I'd expect.

Store color (border color) you can change when you don't edit the text.
Please use Properties toolbar for your needs -- you can show it using Ctrl + E, or View -> Toolbars -> Properties Toolbar.
Now please start edit the text, select the text which color should be changed, and on the Properties Toolbar you will see color popup button.

Sorry, but tell me how to start to edit the text. Which tool do I use to select text? I've tried all kinds of things, and the text is still black.
I do have the Properties Bar showing.

Possibly I should have made clear that I'm trying to edit text I'd written previously. I've learned how to edit the text right after typing it, but before moving the cursor out of the box. It still seems impossible to edit text after leaving the box and then returning to it.
