Why do my textboxes disappear when I move them?
I have a large document that I am trying to edit, which contains a number of
textboxes. However, when I try to move them slightly on the same page they either disappear completely or move to another point in the document altogether! I have tried everything I know - I have deleted them all and tried to insert them again, but the problem previals. I am not trying to move them over each other - I am simply trying to move them (within the set margins) slightly to the right or to the left. |

Why do my textboxes disappear when I move them?
Are you using Word 2007 or an earlier version?
If you are using Word 2007, all you need to do is create the text box and then go to: "Format the Text" "Layout" and set it to "square." Then once the box is anchored approximately where you want it, all you should need to do is grab the pull handles on the box and move the various sides of the box to where you want them to be. The basic location of the box should not move. In earlier versions of Word, I would strongly recommend that you use a once-cell table instead of a text box. Set the wrapping on the box to wrap around the table and then to adjust the size of the table, place your curser inside the cell and grab the handles on the table ruler to move the left and right extents of the table.
