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?
