Hi,

I am running ArcGIS Pro 3.2.2 on PC.

I am new to ArcGIS and am dealing with a problem with Layout view.

I cannot select any elements (North Arrow, Scale, Text boxes, etc.) by clicking on them. I can only highlight them using the content pane (and thank you Richard for pointing out the lock/unlock feature), but even then I am restricted in my actions.

For example, I wanted to select a portion of text in a box to give it specific font attributes, but it has become impossible because I can't select anything inside the box using the pointer. 

What is going on? I was able to do everything when I first created the layout, but some setting must have been triggered and I'm stuck.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Tim
