I have, changed each of the text boxes to "Through" and held down the Ctrl key.

I can get about eight text boxes selected and I will my selected text boxes and have to start over.

Thank you.

Hard to see but I have "Through" selected.

Tex

Holding Ctrl key, and clicking on each text box,

Then, all that had been selected, becomes deselected and only one is selected.

Answer 1

As Suzanne wrote, you can't put any wrapped objects inside a text box.

However, it is possible to put multiple objects (text boxes, shapes, images) inside a drawing canvas. I am not sure if that would be a useful approach in your document.

Answer 2

You can't put text boxes in a text box. You can't put any wrapped object in a text box.

Answer 3

Interesting. I have been able to group text boxes in a text box with fewer text boxes.

I was just having problems capturing all the text boxes in one full group.

Thank you.
