      <p class="para_topic">Text and other objects created by the template are placed on a separate layer which is not selectable. To edit the information such as the text in the title block, make this <a class="links" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="top.openFile('roadmap/02qt_nx_basics_35.html');return(false);">layer</a> selectable.
