Adobe InDesign/text over picture

Question
Hi, I have two questions.  First, I want to create a box, with a small outline, and then put text inside that box. Everytime I create the box using the frame tool, when I go to add text, the text disappears.

Second, also, when I want to add text over a picture, the same thing happens.  

what am i doing wrong????

Answer
hi

to create a box
use your box tool, looks like a box, you'll make a path
go to your brush tool and choose the width and color that you want your box to be
on the layers palette, choose the paths tab
click the little triangle
choose make path
choose brush
done

for text
use the text tool (looks like a T)
Then move the text into the box.
