I have several linked textboxes, and cannot delete a single one of them.

Whenever I click on a textbox (select it) and then hit delete, the textbox disappears for the moment, but then reappears.

I have unlinked textboxes, but this still doesn't allow it to remove them.

I tried to delete the layer with the textbox, but that doesn't work, either.

Why can't I delete the textboxes, neither the linked ones nor the unlinked ones?

 

Well, I found one way to delete them via submenu in the layers panel. But why doesn't Publisher allow me to delete them via delete key?

Assuming we are not talking about text boxes derived from master pages

If you have the Move Tool selected and the text box selected then the delete key should work but if you have a cursor active in the text box then the delete key will not delete the text box but right-clicking on the text box in the layers panel and selecting delete will work

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

This could be the problem - that the cursor was active.

I was able to delete it from the layers panel via submenu.

Oh, I should emigrate. From your point of view that may be immigrate.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
