That sounds a good idea Walt. Thank you. I shall try that out. Cheers.

Yes, That is exactly so Garry. If I remove the picture frame wrap, the text will range left at left text margin. That is the point of the frame - to control type margin around the picture. When I remove the text wrap the result is below. I then have the task of trying to re-format the text around the photo using tabs. Very messy approach. Mystery is Text wrap was no problem previously and nor it blocks the caption. You can understand why I though it was a layer stacking problem. But it is not. I can have caption above or below text wrap and the problem remains. The lowest screen image shows my type behaviour with the text wrap baseline raised to allow the caption to sit below photo. Another messy bit of typography but I shall face that challenge as the only option at this stage. The final,bottom screen shot shows the result. There must be a better way than manually setting individual lines? Thank you for your interest Garry.

The enclosed two images show I am creating a new caption to an existing B&W photograph. However the picture frame text wrap will not allow me to place the caption beneath the photo. I have previously placed captions beneath throughout the book, but in this case my previous method does not work. I must have forgotten a step. Whatever I do, creating the picture frame wrap to shape text around photo prevents me placing the caption. I have altered page text flow manually around B&W photo but that should not effect the caption? I thought it may be caused by order of layer stack. Not so. Re-arranging frame and caption order in layer stack does not help. Can someone tell me what is amiss please. B&W photo shows caption deflected by picture wrap. Colour image shows earlier photo created by same method (Choose picture frame, draw in situ, Click Text Wrap and choose Square, Place picture, with text tool create caption and place beneath picture).

Hi Komatös, Thank you for you help. I will use screen shots in future. I have resolved the problem. Since the type area is marked with blue line and the text frame is also a blue line, I did not recognise I had text flowing within margins without a text frame box having been created! I disconnected links and created two new text frame boxes which I then re-linked and re-flowed text. All is now good. Lesson is learned: Either use two different colours to avoid confusion and/or remember the cross instead of a dot distinguishes margin area not text frame. I do find it odd to have text able to flow to margins without a text frame being created. Since the text cannot be edited unless within a text frame, the behaviour seems pointless? Best Wishes, Tony

Something elementary eludes me. I am correcting text on pages 224 and 225 of a 232 page book and find I am unable to highlight type (select type), on this spread with the type frame text tool. All the other 223 pages prior, and the page frames following are ‘live’ but not this one spread. When I highlight text frame I get small crosses in the corners instead of the usual blue spot. How do I activate text frame so type can be highlighted and edited please? Many Thanks,
