Yes "New Document" does LOOK LIKE an ordinary text document.  But
looks are deceiving.  If I click the border highlighting option, the
label area is indeed highlighted.  Then if I click each set of text a
border is highlighted around each one.  So contrary to your experience
Patrick, there is no highlighting of labels until the highlighting is
manually selected.

Once this is done I can indeed select a picture or logo, but I cannot
put it inside the label.  If I have the cursor within the label and
click 'insert', the picture is copied, to the left of (or if the
picture is large, above) the label.  Can anyone help me with this
problem? SNOOPY
