Indeed, story ranges are kept separate.

In fact, with the insertion point inside a text box (or inside the text of a shape), you can press Ctrl+A to select all the text within that box, if you want. :-)

No you are not understanding plain english. As you will see from my upload. There is text that is TOTALY OUTSIDER of any box.


Without being totaly sarcastic. Get a magnidfying glass on my upload.


You will see (Abnd you may need glasses for this), some text at the bottom of the first page. This is samdwiched between two microsoft text boxes

I Realy can't understand how this is so dificult to understand


Can you see the text (15) in grey. Tell me if you can't

What about the (15) or the XXX?


You were saying you could not type in a shape. I certainly can. Since the color is automatic, it shows up white on the blue background.

2) I have added text around some boxes but they are grey. I can not selcet them and change font colour.


This problem still exsists and nobady has any answers to it. They claim I am refering to the text within a shape or text bosx when it clearly states this text is outside the shapes and text boxes.


(15) is grey and will always be grey, unless someone has a solution to this.
