[Framers] Weird FM problem

[Ken Poshedly]

Occasionally had this problem, too.
1. Try clicking on the graphic itself, then "Send to back" and see if that allows you to move those text boxes. If so, move them to an outer margin, and set them to "Bring to front" and place them you want them once more.

2. Pay VERY close attention to the exact location of the vertical edge of the main page frame, then highlight IT and use the middle grab-handle to slide it to the side (temporarily narrowing the main page frame) to expose the text boxes. Now move the text boxes to an outer margin and slide the main page frame middle grab-handle back to its original position. Finally, place the text frames where you want them once more.
Both techniques have worked for me at different times.
Hey, look! At least it's not Word!!

 As Louise said, I am pretty sure this is caused by the Runaround Properties
on your imported graphics being set to "Run Around Contour" (the default). I
have complained to Adobe for years that the default setting for this should
be "Don't Run Around." I have a simple ExtendScript script that fixes the
problem. See

for details.

OK,

Here's one that I have never seen before, have no idea what started it and
how to solve it. I have graphics that I have imported into anchored frames.
I am using Frame's line art palette to draw arrows that point to certain
places in these graphics, I am adding text boxes that explain what the arrow
is pointing, etc. (and no, translation is not a consideration, so adding
text boxes is just fine).

I can click on a text box or arrow and resize it, but for the life of me,
all of a sudden, I cannot MOVE the text box or arrow to another position
inside the anchored frame. It's like once it's placed somewhere in the
anchored frame, it's locked to that position for life. . . uh, not good if I
want to make some slight  manual adjustments to positioning like I have
always done before. 

I figured it was like when FM  lost its little mind and couldn't remember
the keyboard command to scroll through and insert variables from a list, but
saving all files and closing and rebooting FM did not solve the issue. This
just started and I have no idea how/why or how to resolve it.

FM 10, all current, Windows 7, 64-bit.

Thanks!
