Graphics and text in tables

[NES]

Each month I create a calendar of events decorated with graphics for specific
holidays. I usually enter any text into the cell, then later insert a small
graphic. I format the graphic -- first by setting it "In front of text" to
adjust the size and color intensity, then I set it to "behind text". The
problem is that if I want to re-adjust the graphic, I can't bring it to the
front. It's locked behind the text. How can I overcome this? Thanks in
advance.

Display the Drawing toolbar and click on the Select Objects tool (big white
arrow at the left end). This will allow you to select objects in the drawing
layer without touching text.

Thank you very very much. That worked like a charm. I've been struggling with
this for two years. I should have come here earlier. <s> Thanks again.

You're very welcome. This is such a simple thing that it's surprisingly
poorly documented. I can't tell you all the weird workarounds I read about
before I learned the "right" way to do this!
