Text Box Issue

[Gaffnr]

Hi All
im writing a user manual and copying and pasting screen shots using Ctrl,
ALT + PrtScrn and then overlaying screen shot with text boxes and arrows to
highlight critical points.

I have done this many times in the past with no issue, however, today, the
text box is blanking out the ENTIRE pasted screen shot from the left edge of
where the text box starts.

Ive tried send text box and screen shot to front back etc, to no avail.
Thanks
Rob

Do yourself a favour and grab the trial copy of SnagIt. This will make
annotating screen shots infinitely easier than trying to do so the way you
are currently attempting. All the tutorials on my web site are annotated
with SnagIt. I guarantee that you'll want to buy it, if you have much of
this type of work to do.

In the meantime ensure that your text box has no fill.

I'll second the endorsement of SnagIt, but the text box fill is not the
issue here (or at least not the entire issue); it's that the text box
wrapping is formatted as Square rather than In Front of Text.
