Default Can't insert textbox in microsoft word 2003 as it freezes

Given that Word has crashed - see
http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm
Then restart Word and from tools options general turn off the drawing
canvas, which is not necessary to insert a text box. Also check tools
options view drawings.
If you can place a text box but not see it, you may have set the default
autoshape settings to include no line around the box. Change it back again.
