'see' and edit text box items when they are obscured by other items
-
Really new to SSRS Report builder and no training. I have different items and backgrounds that have visibility dependent upon query fields. This means that the items are layered and have differing parent items. I can tab through all the items and adjust their properties but, when it comes to text boxes, I need to click into them. These are obscured by other items, how can I access them without moving things? If I move them around I end up with items in the incorrect positions and with different parents. Does this make sense? Basically, how can I edit a text box without moving things? I intend adding expressions so that I don't have to do this again and can edit the query code instead.

The easiest way to do this would be to ensure you are providing meaningful names to your textbox items (not leaving the default textbox1,2,3). If you can identify them by name, you then open the properties window (F4) and can select the textbox item you want to edit by name. That will highlight and bring it to the forefront for you to click in and edit the text.
