Adobe InDesign/Text Not Showing Up Over Images

Question
Hi.  Every time I create a new doc I can't see the text over an image unless I move the text box into the white space outside of the doc.  Not sure how this became a default setting. Previously I changed the setting to NO TEXT WRAP and it worked but it's not correcting the issue.  Thanks so much for your help.

Answer
Hi Tara,

In InDesign, with no files open, click on the first icon in the Text Wrap palette - No Text Wrap - this will then be the default for any new documents.

Once you place an image on a page, go to Object>Arrange>Send To Back. This will make sure the text box is above the image in the layer.

Hope this helps,
