Newbie cc3+ manual tutorial what the heck did I do?

Okay, so I bought the cc3+/cd3+/dd3+ bundle. I read through the manuals (they didn't make much sense to me as I had nothing in front of me to relate to), then watched Noe Sweeny's tutorials ( they made more sense, as I could see what be was doing), then started to create a world map for a campaign I will be running soon....and restarted, and restarted, and restarted. I didn't like what I was seeing, nothing looked 'authentic' to me.
So I decided to revisit the manual and and create a 'learning curve' map, using the manual as a walk through ( I learn better that way anyway).
I'm at the point where I'm supposed to make a title box and add the map's title to it. I follow the manuals instructions EXACTLY and expect to see the map title in the title box... But it's not there. So I do it again, and again... Still nothing. That's when I notice my map title is the same color as my title box... Because my title is directly UNDER my title box. I undo that mistake as much as I can( there is still one title there), change the text color and try again...only to have the new map title show up u der the old map title which is under my title box, even though my crosshairs are ON the title box when I right clicked to finish!
Can someone tell me how I managed to mess up so completely when I followed the instructions exactly?

Check on which sheets your new items are placed (use the pipette and the settings are changed on the top) then compare those with the order of sheets (yellow icon at the left).
In the manual this is menttioned in "The Map Title" on page 40 in the 8.-section.
sea
land
symbols
text
So the text is on top of everything, they symbols are on top of the land and sea. The land is on top of the sea.
You can select a sheet and move it up and down in the sheet popup. Move the map title to the bottom part of the list of sheets and see if that fixes the problem.
