I would like to be able to add text boxes to some of my Photo Book pages as can be done using Shutterfly. Is this possible? Also, can text boxes be moved around on a page?
Thanks, in advance, for your help.

No.
No.
Thanks for answering my question. Knowing the answer will same me some frustration.
I'm going to change my answer to "Yes", but it might require more of a time investment than you care for.
Every page layout has an option for allowing text.
Choose a layout that is closest to what you desire.
You can then change the height/width of the photo by selecting it and using the keyboard commands:
"command" + "option" + Arrow Key
"command" + "option" + "shift" + Arrow Key
You can change the height/width of the text box too, but I only recommend increasing the height as decreasing the width can cut off text and increasing the width only allows the text to the original width anyway.
You can then move the photo/text box by selecting it and using the keyboard command:
"command" + Arrow Key
"command" + "shift" + Arrow Key
With a little patience and ingenuity, you should be able to get any layout of your choosing.
Good Luck!
Here's the same page with the elements resized and moved.
You can also rotate a photo by selecting it and using the keyboard command:
"command" + "control" + Up/Down Arrow Key
"command" + "control" + "shift" + Up/Down Arrow Key
Peter, you are wonderful. Thank you so much. All of your suggestions made on May 1 are VERY helpful. I will play around with your suggestions to see what happens. I'm 76 years old, by the way.
Thank you Peter! This has helped me too.
Although you can widen a text box the text will not scale up to the larger size. It will have line breaks/returns where the orignal box size put them.
Therefore we can manipulate text boxes left, right, up, down, rotate and lengthen but not widen or shorten from the original width.

Is there any way to move/add text boxes when making a photo book?
