Thumbs up Answer: Can't select text box

Hi there! It sounds like you're having trouble selecting the text boxes you've copied and pasted in your document. Don't worry, there are a few things we can try to fix this issue.

First, let's check if the text boxes are set to "behind text." If they are, this could be why you're having trouble selecting them. Here's how to check:
  1. Click on the text box you're having trouble with to select it.
  2. Go to the "Format" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  3. Look for the "Wrap Text" option in the "Arrange" group.
  4. If "Behind Text" is selected, click on it to change it to "In Front of Text."

If the text box is still not selectable, try these steps:
  1. Click on the "Home" tab in the ribbon.
  2. Click on the arrow next to the "Select" button in the "Editing" group.
  3. Select "Select Objects" from the drop-down menu.
  4. Click and drag your mouse over the area where the text box is located. This should select the text box.

If you're still having trouble selecting the text box, it's possible that it's grouped with other objects in the document. Here's how to ungroup the objects:
  1. Click on the text box you're having trouble with to select it.
  2. Go to the "Format" tab in the ribbon.
  3. Look for the "Group" option in the "Arrange" group.
  4. If "Group" is selected, click on it to ungroup the objects.

I hope one of these solutions works for you!
