I fail to implement a repeat rectangle.
While everything behaved as planned some 30 minutes ago, all the sudden the intended serial letter won’t work.
Below you see part of a letter I plan to write 


Part -1- 


Trying to place a repeat rectangle around.  Address fields and the entire text body.
Part -2-

Part -3-  so long, the repeat rectangle works

Part -4- doing so will show the border rectangle afterward.  
Part -5-
Then the form shows the border rectangle, rather than the repeat rectangle.  Even worse; pushing „ctrl-S“ causing
Sudden end to the app altogether.  Ran collection trough Utility with no problem found.

I feel pretty lost.

Any thoughts, you friends reading this ?

Best regards
Tony Sommer - Germany

Problem „solved“. I restarted Computer. Ran collection through Utilities again. Broker indices.
Then program did on reopening some recalc of indices and….it works again.
Don’t know the logic behind it but it helped

After you place a repeat rectangle on a template, the selection in the elements panel changes to the label rectangle because you can only put one repeat rectangle on a form.

Thank you Bill. Now I know. I never took care before as Program always behaved as expected. The misbehavior, i susoect, had to do with a corrupted index
