Default Text box displays but won't print.

Hi,

I am running MS Word 2000 on Windows 2000.

I have a document, created from a blank document, in which
the following odd behaviour is occurring.

I created a figure in Excel, copied and pasted it as an
enhanced metafile. The caption for the figure I put in a
text box, just below the figure.

Grouped the two items. The layout was then set to square
with right adjustment. So it sits about half way down a
page. There is a table above the figure and another,
in-lined figure below the caption, and text to the left of it.

It looks great on screen, and in print preview. But it will
not print the contents of my caption text box (the figure does
print).

Drawing Objects is ticked to be included with document in
Tools|Options|Print.

If I copy the figure+text box object and paste it into
a new document by itself it prints fine.

Help!! This is startingto drive me nuts. I have tried
printing to multiple printers and to PDF, and tried nudging
the object around as much as I can without throwing everything
else out of whack.

Thanks in advance.
