Re: Failing with Wrap text object
The correct address for the wbs file is - www.donjohnson24.co.uk/Testfiles/DonJohnsonTest.wbs
Sorry for the typo
The page is next1
I said that the X does not appear, but a window does appear for a file selection, but the one picked superimposes the text.
Do you ever go to bed ?
