Text Box and NPC Troubles

So I was following along the adventure game tutorial guide because I too wanted an NPC to give my character a weapon but when I try to do it the area where the text box should be shows up but there is no words. I put a screen capture below for reference. I have it set to where if you press A then text comes up, (If im being honest I want it to be triggered by stepping on a tile, but I thought this was a good start).

You have to do the following:
1. Click on the Text tab and type the text you want to see
2. Click on Text Groups and add your text to a group
3. Click on HUD and Boxes and draw a box for your text box
4. Assign a text group to the screen your text will appear on (it's just above where you choose your screen's music)
5. You need to make sure that in your tile layout, you haven't chosen a (NO HUD) option.

The most important one is, make sure you set your text group to your screen (in the screen "Infos")

Also, when you placed your NPC on the screen (right click place monster) which slot have you used ("Place Monster 1" or "2"...)?
Make sure all your texts are set in your Text group. Because if you "placed monster 2", then that NPC will trigger the "text 2" (from the text group).
