Selecting a Text Box

Selecting a text box is slightly different from all the other objects.

Selecting inside the textbox will not select the actual text box as it will with all other objects.

Position the mouse pointer over any text within the textbox and click with the left mouse button.

When a text box is selected eight white handles will be displayed along the edges of the text box.

To deselect a text box click anywhere outside the text box.
