[Solved] Text box with embedded table in OO4.1.1

Post by butterkup »

Time to get back to my in-progress recipe book, and lo and behold, this new 4.1.1 version of OO seems to no longer have text boxes, let alone creating a text box with an embedded table, available. Can't find the text box icon or any mention of a text box in the menus. Help still has text box, but no info on how to access it. My previously created text boxes now appear as frames. I might be able to live with that as long as I can access the embedded table and edit recipes. Hopefully, there is some angel out there who can help. :crazy:

In Writer they are Frames (and always were?) In Impress (and possibly Draw) they are Text boxes.
