Hi David,

As Fred points out, the frame and the graphic within it are two 
different things. To select the graphic, click anywhere on it; to select 
the frame, click just outside it, very close to the border (The pointer 
will change from the I-bar to an arrow when it's close enough).

And make sure you always work with borders and text symbols visible -- 
life is easier.

HTH,
