Difficulty selecting text

[brocsman]

I've just opened a page I deigned last week on a different machine (just loaded the software onto it). It looks fine, but when I try to select text to edit it each word seems to occupy its own text box. I'm used to using ctrl/shift/end for example to select a whole section, or shift/down arrow for a selection, or even that newfangled idea, the mouse, but none of these work. I can only select a word or two, and a red line appears under the selection. What am I doing wrong please?

Best attach the xar/web file

No problems here.

Really? are you saying that you can select text easily, and the images flow?

Well what I'm finding is a dog's breakfast.

You have a NavBar where all the text is the same colour as the buttons on both layers.

You have the NavBar way off the actual page will a pile of text that is 28/12 pt and bold to boot.

You then have two clones of the text block that are overlapping and almost all on the page.

If there are images, they're not in this design file.
All the text is selectable: double-click picks a word; triple-click, the paragraph and quadruple-click the block.
Click-drag across the text select the range of text.
Ctrl+A, the block.
All when using the Text tool.
