In this test - How can I lock the position of the blue caption container to the bottom right of the image.
Thanks

Click on the header above the left-hand pane in Freeway, so the header changes from Site to Page. Click once on the blue box, then on the big photo, and note which of the names in the left-hand list “light up” with a blue highlight as you do.
If you click on the name of the blue box, and drag it within the list until it is directly under and slightly to the right of the big photo’s name in the list. You will know that you have done this correctly if the name of the big photo emboldens and gets a highlight, to indicate that it is accepting the new child element. When you see that, release the mouse button. Nothing on screen should change when you do this, but once you have done so, you will have made the blue caption a positioned child of the big photo, and then the rest of the change can be done using the Inspector.
Look in the first tab of the Inspector for the set of positioning fields that set top, left, right, and bottom. Set bottom and right to 0, and make sure that top and left are greyed out (unused). This will give you the effect you want.

Hi Walter
Stuck! I can’t move the item name anywhere in the page view list. If I move it anywhere it just bounces back to its original position?
At the min. the Big image (Image 1) is to the left in the list.
The blue box is underneath (bluecapholder) this is indented to its right as is the other uppermost caption (called item 2)

You could try cutting and pasting the bluecapholder to the pasteboard and then do as Walter suggests ie drag bluecapholder (from the pasteboard) over the main image until its bounding box turns blue, let it go and position using the Inspector.
