Title: FLOATING TEXT
Post by: snowstorm on October 30, 2014, 08:56:03 PM
Good evening

I have a saved layer with 2 2x7 pictures
There is a 'gap' approx. 1/4 inch ,between the two pictures where I typed few words
How Can I amend /deleted these words

I also want to insert floating text on the pictures; how can this be done

When I try to insert the words on the pictures they cannot be inserted where I want

Thanks for any advices

When you look at the floating text on screen in the page editor where you applied it, you will see a small blue dot just slightly above and left of the text (usually)

Put your  mouse pointer on that blue dot and Right click the mouse to make any changes to point size, font, color etc.
To move or place the text, place mouse pointer on the blue dot and with left mouse button held down, drag the text into position.

Hope that helps,
Fred

Many thanks for your quick answer(my photos are 5x7 not 2x7 as described in my original message)

I was able to amend the floating text with the right click

I still have some problems with 3 other blue dots over the image ;there are no texts attached to these dots; how can I deleted those dots

Thanks for your attention

snowstorm :D

Snowstorm. Allow me to say that it's a pleasure chatting with you since we never see any snowstorms in SW Florida where I am.

Does the Right Mouse click open the text box on those extra blue dots?
If so, when the box opens, you should see a DELETE button lower right.

If it does not open, can you send a screen snap so I can see what you are talking about?

I managed to create a blue dot with no text.
There is text but it is invisible, like spaces..
Just use the delete button as discussed above.
