Hi. I have been surprised that for someone as thick as me, I have been able to work out editing and saving etc... with this template. Every problem I have come up across, I have managed to work out fairly easily. Great designing. The thing I can't seem to do, (and this is embarrassing because it's the most basic of all) is sometimes I can't seem to select the text on the screen to edit it. I click the cursor on the tools and the outline is highlighted, Can't select the text inside the box. I click on the text button in tools, and click there again and it just opens a new text window. Sometimes it works and the line cursor appears in the sentence and I can delete and change the text, but a lot of the time it just opens a new text box. I feel so stupid... Can anyone help with this basic of basics?

Thanks again for your help. I knew it would be simple. I guess what threw me is that sometimes I have simply clicked a few times and suddenly a cursor appears and I can type directly. Thanks.

Ahhhh, I see what the problem is. I mentioned some parts I could edit. I have only just noticed now the problem. I was editing the contact page. The part I couldn't edit as text is the email and web site. Instead of coming up as 'text field'. It comes up as 'web link'. I am writing this here so other noobies might see. I will look into help files to see if I can edit it, or if I have to just delete and make my own there.
