[users] Place text inside frame

This is so stupid. I have created a frame. I see a paragraph mark inside the frame (hidden characters is turned on). But for the life of me I cannot get the cursor inside the frame so I can type some text into it. I can't find the answer in the Help file. What is the secret? --

[users] Opening properties in a field in Base

I am in design view on a Mac with neooffice. If I double tap (right click) on a field to get the context menu and then select controls, I get "properties:multiselection" instead of propetries:field name. Mysteriously, I have managed to get the properties:filed name to pop up once, but not again.
