Hi,

there are (at least) two possibilities:

1.: The text ist protexted. right-click on the shape, and go to Shape ->
Format -> Protection. Disable the "Text" checkbox
2.: If it is a group shape, look into the ShapeSheet. Inside the Table
"Group Properties", set the cell "IsTextEditTarget" to TRUE.

Best regards,
Markus
