I followed the directions and all went well until I got to the step where I held down Ctrl and right clicked on the picture. No matter where I clicked, I got a message saying invalid selection

Hello Eloise,

Sorry to hear that. But I followed the steps in the article and it works all-right. And later I found out why you got the message saying invalid selection. That is because you hold the Ctrl Key and right-click at the same time. Please see the attached picture.

Remember, after you hold Ctrl key to select both the text box and picture, release the Ctrl key. Then right-click the picture, choose Group > Group to group these two objects. Please have a try.

Sincerely,
Mandy
