Why don't you try using Alice 2.2? I am not sure, but as far as I remember, Alice 2.0 had a bug with 3D text, and because of it, it doesn't work very well.

For the course I'm doing we've been instructed to use 2.0, but I will let them know this may be an issue. thanks

Your welcome. I don't really think it matters if you use Alice 2.0 or 2.2. Everything is identical to one another in Alice 2.0 and Alice 2.2. I think the only difference is that Alice 2.2 has less bugs in it.
