Default Selecting Text Box in a Table Cell - How To?


I have a document with a table. Within one cell of the table, there is regular text and a text box. How can I select the text box to edit it's contents?

Is there a text form field or a text content control in the document? You can upload a screen shot or the document itself, so that we can have a look.

Hello Stefan. I've attached the document. I need to modify the paragraph formatting for the words "Design Craft" in order to bring the words down 2 points within the blue band. I created this document a few years ago and can't remember how I did it! Thanks!

Your textbox has a 'behind text' layout. To select it (and any shape) add the 'Select Drawing Objects' icon to the QAT, via File|Options|Quick Access Toolbar>Commands Not in the Ribbon. Then, whenever you have difficulty selecting such an object, simply click on the icon before clicking on the object.
