Thank you very much for your reply. You understood my difficulty and gave a clear solution. It worked, and I learned a bit about Groups, too. I appreciate your help, it was good of you. I would never have been able to work that out!

Thank you for the reply, I'm having the same problem. Isn't there a way of linking a filled shape with the text without losing the fill? After the pentagon appears when the cursor is hovered over the filled shape, after Frame Text Tool is selected from the menu, a message appears at bottom left of screen: 'Click to convert Rounded Rectangle to Text Frame'. When clicked, the conversion is made and now dragging the shape takes the text with it because, presumably, the shape is now the text frame for the text. But the shape loses its colour. It seems odd that the fill disappears, I can't see an advantage in that for the user. A solution would be wonderful! (Putting a text frame over a shape is handy, thank you for the idea, but moving one of them leaves the other behind so they have to be re-aligned and fiddled with!)

Thank you for this thread; after reading it I saw that I was trying to crop an .afpub file in Photo. The thread tells me this is not possible - thanks again. So I saved the image as an .afphoto with this filename extension so that I would be able to crop it. When I double-click on this file to open it, Photo is opened by default, not Publisher. Good, that's what I want and expect. The filename extension is shown as .afphoto. However, I cannot crop it, I get the Publisher cropping symbol (arrow with a rectangle bottom-right). It seems that once I've been to Publisher I can't return to Photo, for some tasks at least, even though it's an .afphoto file. This suggests that it isn't possible to flit between the three members of the Infinity suite. (I appreciate I perhaps need to get advice on a new thread about this, but it was the earlier posts which initiated the issue so I hope I haven't completely wandered.)
