From there you can select one photo at a time and click on any gray Photo Boxes or an existing photo in your page.  To insert another photo in the page, just open the Insert Photo again and select other photos you want to insert. 

11) Edit Text boxes by double clicking the text box to select and enter “Cursor” mode. You would notice a blinking bar inside the text box as an indication that you can now edit the text in it.
