After importing text boxes from an Excel file to use as lables pointing to
references on a map, all being produced in a WORD Doc; any new text boxes
created anywhere in the Word document are somehow linked. What I type in the
latter appears in the former. Eg what i type in new text box numer 2 also
appears in new text box number one, no matter where they are in the document.
The facility 'Linked Text Boxes' has not been activated & therefore the
'Unlink option is not available'
Please advise on how to create new text boxes independently
There is a seldom-seen form of document corruption that causes a
strange form of text box "linkage". Text entered in one box will be
duplicated in another box. You may even get two cursors at once.
Follow the procedures for dealing with corrupt documents.
