Thank you!! This worked. I guess it's because the picture that I'm writing on top of is text wrapped (sorry, don't know the lingo). OMG....thank you thank you!

Hello,

Thank you but I have never been able to get the text tool to work. If I select it and then get the symbol into my document, when I start typing, the left hand menu just jumps around and no typed words appear. I really need a step by step for dummies
