Reply To: InDesign CC 2017

I am a very amateur InDesign user and since updating to 2017 I’m having a problem with the OpenType update. For instance, I have a text box that has OpenType font in it but when I click on the icon it says “OpenType properties are not applicable” and when I try to add it to my document over top of a graphic box, the text disappears. I made sure to have the text layer in front but the text is still gone. Anyone know what is going on and how to fix it? Thank you!
