We have noticed that the wording at the top of these two frames is in there at an angle. "Mommy" and "Family" it is not too noticable in the scriptina font but if you chnage the font to say times new roman it is very noticable. Is there a way to straighten it? Was this the design? help??!!

You're absolutely right, they're at a slight angle. Look very closely at the photos on page 41 of the Spring catalog and you'll see it there; it's intentional. ZBOU24 (Family) is 4.33 degrees off, and ZBOU22 is 2.75 degrees. There are two solutions, then:

Option A.
Start a rotation by clicking the smaller red box in the lower center and start dragging to rotate. Press F2 during the rotate to bring up the precision dialog and type in either -4.33 or -2.75 to correct the rotation.

Option B.
Double click the text to enter text mode and copy the text (either ctrl+c or the copy button in the top toolbar). Click out in open space to create a new text line. Paste (ctrl+v) and you will get the text on a new straight line. Move the new text in where you want it and delete the slanted text.

Option A is quicker, but you'll need to remember those numbers - Option B works no matter the number, but requires positioning the new text.
