FP2002 Text Boxes

Help! I can't seem to add a text box to my FP document.
Most of the options on the drawing toolbar are grayed
out. What am I doing wrong???

Most of the drawing options are due to compatibility settings. Something to
keep in mind is things like a text box, or drawing toolbar items aren't
compatible with older browsers, or with any browser other than IE. They're
often the downfall of a first web site with FP because of this. A lot of
users instinctively get drawn to them from their use with other
applications, but for web development it's usually best to avoid them.
Instead of relying on placing text with the text box or drawing tools, use
tables to create the layout and placement of items.

Hope this helps,
