Thank you for that. Yes, you are absolutely right text boxes (and Fontwork) are very particular where you right click on them. I had been clicking inside the boundary of one of the text boxes or clicking inside the boundary of the selection but after receiving your message I experimented more carefully and found that you have to click exactly on the boundary of one of the text boxes or objects in order to get the align menu. If you have several objects selected then these boundaries are very small/thin but if you don't have the four arrowed positioning icon showing when you right click it doesn't work.
