Hi, A client recently upgraded from FrontPage 2000 to FrontPage 2003. Strange things have happened to the text boxes on his graphic images. The ones that were in place have become rectangular hot spots with no destination. When he tries to add a text box (click the Text tool on the Pictures toolbar), he finds the Text tool greyed out. It is completely unresponsive. I've looked it over - it is disabled. The Help says that to add a Text-on-graphic component, one must have the right format for the graphic (.gif), which he does; one must click the Text tool on the Pictures toolbar, which he can't because the darned thing is not enabled. We figured out a workaround - creating a new layer above the layer on which the graphic is, and placing the text in it. So, he can continue to maintain his website - but WHY isn't the Text tool enabled on the Pictures toolbar? Has anyone else seen this behavior? Have any ideas? It's not popping up in the FAQ for FrontPage 2003 on the Microsoft site, and I didn't find postings on it in the first newsgroup I've scanned. Got me stumped. Thanks for any thoughts, Tina
