How do I place text over a photo?

[williamdnomal99]

I cannot type over a photo. I create a text box over a photo and begin to type but the text never shows and is flagged as overwritten text.

HI William.

Since this doesn't sound like Capture CC functionality wanted to check wherther you're using Capture CC or another application.

Please let me know so I can move your post to the correct forum.

Adobe InDesign is what the program is.

thanks. Got my answer

You only need to do this when you have more than one text wrap on a page, normally you can put text over images.

Highlight text box then right click in text box  and select 'text frame options' then tick ígnore text wrap'.

Thanks. For over 4 years I didn't know how to do that and used other methods to put text over photos. This will make my life easier!
