Viewing layered text boxes

 Have you tried using the visibility icons in the left-hand pane to turn off the visibility of the text boxxes that you don't want to edit? Visibility icons are one of the many, many wonderful enhancements I think you'll find in your new version! To turn on the visibility icons, go to File, Preferences and select the first item on the General tab. You'll then see little boxes with eyeballs appear next to each object in the left-hand pane. To make an object invisible in authoring mode, just click on the eyeball box (clicking it again will make it visible again).

These icons only affect the visibility of the object when you're authoring -- it will not change what the learner sees when the program is running.

Hope this helps!

When I open a title I had created in v. 5, I can not view textboxes one by one on a page; all textboxes open up when I select one. This is a problem because I have several textboxes layered on top of each other (they become visible on a button click). When I need to edit one of them, I can't see what I am doing. This was not a problem in v. 5. Is my file corrupt, or is there an easy solution for this?
