Good to know
Changed your mind before placing it? Press Esc or select Text again. A tap in the margin or in the gap between pages doesn't place anything, so just tap the page again. A text box you never type in disappears when you click away.
Tip
On the weekly pages you can also tap a cell and start typing. See write lesson plans in the weekly grid.
