I don't have that program, but I suspect you must immediately drag the text
where you want it...before clicking anywhere else within the photo. Many of
these programs will assume you're done moving it when/if you click anywhere
else.

I haven't used this program but in Photoshop the text would be on a separate
layer so you'd select that layer, type V to get the Move tool and move that
layer where you want it.

Sounds like you are using the move tool but are on the wrong layer?

in PaintShopPro, put the text on a new layer,
select that layer, and move it where you want it to be.

incredibly simple.

Except it's not simple to use PSP when you're working in Photo Deluxe.

P'raps. Better would be PS Elements, and better still, PS CS.

However, you posted this right following the only correct answer in the
thread, and it *appears* to only tout PSP.

if that was the answer
that you can only move it right after you place it,
then that product was not very powerful or flexible.

i bought PSP because it gave me more power for less money,
and so far, does more than I ask of it. other than being a user,
i have no benefit no matter which choice he makes.

he may.

Er, that was not the answer, certainly not the correct one.
