Can't see my text, help please.

I have just converted from 2003 to 2010 on my school computer. I am
used to keeping slides fresh in my civics class by going through and
updating text and what not. Unfortunately when I click on my text
boxes to make changes they remain below whatever graphics I have on
the page. In 2003 when I clicked on a text bot it came to the top and
then returned once I clicked off. Is there a setting in 2010 to allow
me to read what is in my text box and make changes without changing
the order and then changing it back?

Thanks in advance.
