graphics >> How can I add Icon to insert text in text box

by SnVuZSBCdWc » Sat, 10 Feb 2007 06:16:00 GMT

In the past, working in Draw, I had an icon which allowed me to insert text
in the text box. Now I do not have this icon and am unable to find how to
insert this icon in my drawing tool.

Please help me. I use text boxes often and am frustrated that I am unable to
add text to the text box.

If you have inserted a text box, all you have to do is type in it. If you
want to add text to an AutoShape, right-click on it and choose Add Text.

MS Word 2007,  XP
Making a work instruction procedure.
Inserted, cropped, and aligned pictures.
Now adding text boxes:
Inserted first Text Box, formatted, and aligned.
When additional (and subsequent) text boxes are inserted, the first or 
previous text block starts 'blinking'.  Both the new text box and the 
previous show as being selected (i.e. blue outline around the both boxes are 
active).  But the previous text box outline is 'blinking'.  Under Text Box 
Tools Format tab, Size selection boxes are blinking as well as Create Link 
under Text (Break Link can not be selected).  I can scroll down to the next 
box, but when I stop scrolling, it 'jumps back' to the blinking box.  
Clicking in the document 'turns off' both the blinking box and the new box.  
Then when I try to select the new box, it starts all over again and 'jumps 
back' to the previous blinking box.  Driving me crazy!!
