I am looking to add descriptive text on top of an image that has text wrap attributed to it.

How do I create text fields that are not affected by this text wrap? Is it possible?

Any ideas would be most appreciated.
 
Create a new layer and do it on that. If you want, you can lock the first layer.

i tried putting the text in a new layer and it still seems to be affected by the underlying layer's object's text wrap.

what am i missing?
 
Found it!

Apparently under the object menu for a text field you can click a check box that says "ignore text wrap."

Here is a nice tutorial on text wrap where I found what I was looking for:

Thanks jmgalvin for taking to time to respond to my post.
 
Yeah, forgot that.

Always thought that it should be under the Type menu rather than Object - would make more sense and be more apparant.
