Title: Selecting a floating frame
Post by: Actinia on April 10, 2025, 01:24:47 PM
I am creating a newsletter with articles in a text frame and with various photos floated within the text. I can create an image frame, get an image, set the frame size to that of the image and set the text wrap properties of this image frame. I can then drag the image frame into my article text column at a suitable place and, if needs be move it around.
However if I come back to this image later, I find that I cannot select the image frame. Clicking on it selects the surrounding text frame. Curiously, if I try later I find I can select the image by clicking on it. This is typically after I have inserted another image frame.
I suspect that this is something to do with stacking order. Do I need to bring the image frame to the top of the stack? If so, how can I do this if I cannot select the image?

in the "properties palette > level" you have a few arrows...

and with "ctrl-click" you can cycle through the items under the cursor.

Thanks, that works OK.
