What you are missing is that the scanned image is a graphic, and it is this
graphic that needs its layout property set to behind text. Select the
graphic (if necessary using the white pointer on the drawing toolbar to
select it) then format picture layout.

With the graphic behind text you can insert text boxes over it.

I don't see the option to set the layout 'behind text'. Once I
establish the FIRST textbox each attempt to setup a SECOND textbox
removes the FIRST textbox. So I'm left with only the ability to have
a single textbox on the page. (I have a four (4) page scanned in
document.)
How am I able to set the layout property to 'behind text' if I can't
even retain the first textbox?
Maybe I'm missing something here.
TIA!

I have scanned in a document that I need to have two (2) or three
(3) textboxes on one of the pages. I can do one textbox - no lines
for borders etc. but I can't seem to do a second one. I keep
getting the first one to be 'redone/changed'. Even when I save the
document and reopen it I get the same 'redo/change' request.

How can I put two or more textboxes per page - so as to blank out
what is already printed on the scanned in page?
