Question

Preview - Text box selection

Completing form using ‘Preview’.

When selecting 'Text Box’ it has started to appear out of sight below page and cannot locate to fill.

On commencement of completing form this worked OK, but as I’ve gone down page this has started to occur.

Using arrow keys on keyboard isn’t picking up ’Text Box’ to move it.

How do I place ‘Text Box’ in a different location when opening, or what is the answer?

— after a few attempts, managed to ‘Copy’ / ‘Paste’ another text in box to create a new ‘Text Box’, but still don’t know what has occurred as stated above.

If your document has many pages you can reset the location of the next text box to the centre of the visible area of the current page by changing page, creating and immediately erasing a text box and coming page to your previous page.

If your document has only one page temporarily insert a blank page with Edit / Insert / Blank Page to be able to do that reset.

Thanks for your reply.

Something rather odd was going on, whilst attempting to reposition text box (after copy/pasting from elsewhere) it was jumping around screen, yet if I positioned curser where I wanted to place box, the text box was set in correct place.

Closed page down and started again.
