I added a text box to a document and because the text box above it was
lblocking the tops of the letters I put it behind the text. Now I want to
delete it and i can't access it. It is there but I can't do anything with it.

any ideas.

If it's behind the text, then it's not inline, it's floating. Anyway, to
delete it: display the Drawing toolbar. Select the arrow pointer. Drag a
rectangle that encloses the textbox -- that will select it. Delete.

Display the Drawing toolbar and click the big white arrow (the Select
Objects tool). That will let you grab the text box.
