Photoshop CS6 - question about 'Classroom In A Book' Lesson 4

Question

I am teaching myself Photoshop CS6 using Adobe's "Classroom in a Book." In Lesson 4, I am supposed to be able to open the Satin Layer Style from within the Drop Shadow Style Layer. It does not work!!! When I click the Satin check box, nothing happens.
Is the book wrong or am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

I will start with Item 10.
10. ”Select the Flower layer and choose Layer>Layer style>Drop Shadow. Then change the following settings in the Structure area:
     Opacity: 60%
     Distance: 13px
     Spread: 9%
Make sure Use Global Light is selected and the Blend Mode is Multiply. Do not click OK.”
(My note: there is a picture of how the Drop Shadow Layer Style screen should look.)
11. "With the Layer Style dialogue box still open, select Satin on the left. Then make sure Invert is selected, and apply the following settings:
     Color (next to Blend Mode): Fuchsia (choose a color that compliments the flower color.
     Opacity: 20%
     Distance: 22px”
(My note: There is picture of the Satin Layer Style Screen should look.)
12 “Click OK to apply both layer styles."
(My note: When I click Satin in step 11, nothing happens. In fact clicking on any box in the left column of the Drop Shadow Style Layer does nothing!)
