I use Photoshop CS2

In order to print labels for CDs, I created a template file which is tailored to the size of the label stock I use. I also created a work path that matches the outer circle of the CD and the inner circle of the hole. Then I activate the work path so that I can type in any label data in the appropriate places.

Recently, I have sometimes found that when I choose the Text tool and click it on the surface of the label image, a bounding box appears around the outer circle. In the Paths palette, a new entry appears marked "Layer 2 Type Path" and I am unable to type text into the document or get rid of the bounding box unless I de-select the path that I created as a guide..

I can’t figure out how to get rid of the bounding box in a manner that will allow me to type text.

What do I do to fix this problem?
