In order to delete the box, you have to click delete a second time or you can click on the trashcan icon of the text box (lower right corner). This removes the text from the box but will keep the actual text box. This will select the text box without bringing up the text window. To delete a text box, you have to move you cursor outside of the text box boundary, click and hold down on the mouse, and then drag to the opposite corner of the text box. If you click on the text box, even around the border, it will open up the text styles/editing box….which is not what you want. Now, deleting text boxes can be finicky in this program. Once that text box is deleted, I have more control about how and where I want my text to flow. Usually, my first step is to delete the text box on the right page (unless I know I want two full pages of text). The text is initially placed as two large photo boxes on the page. So let me walk through how to incorporate a larger piece of text into your photo book. This allows you to consistently edit the features of your text at once yet customize how much of the text you want to appear on a particular page. Instead, if you want to edit the text, you’re editing one text file – even though it appears in several boxes and pages, throughout your book. And this isn’t accomplished by copying/pasting different sentences into each box. It means that there is one text that can be sub-divided into various text boxes throughout your entire photo book. While it can definitely be finicky, BookWright does have an autoflow text feature. Recently, a reader reached out to me asking how to accomplish this using BookWright. Some people want to incorporate longer pieces of text – such as long-form journal entries – combined with photos into a photo book. Usually, if I’m going to add text to my photo book, it’s going to be as a title on the page or a caption to a photo. In particular, I want to show you how you can adapt one of my annual photo book templates to become a smaller, more focused vacation photo book. I want to show you that there is an easier way to compile your favorite vacation photos into a beautiful streamlined photo book. It will be a blast to look back through the memories you had as a family every summer. Imagine looking at all of your vacation photo books, ten years from now. Once printed in a photo book, you’ll always have this document to refer back to, year after year. And in my family, our summer vacation is the highlight of our year! Which is so sad because these photos are documenting your vacation. It makes your photo book look more scattered than you want. Or you get tired of using the typical layouts. Open up the design software but then you quickly become exhausted with creating the layouts for each spread. Select some of the favorite photos from your vacation. But….you’ve never had great luck at finishing a photo book. Let’s say, you want to make a photo book of all of your favorite photos.
