Getting rid of a stray Text Box
I've got at least one stray text box lurking in a very long document.
One contained a table; I cut the table and pasted it elsewhere. Now I cannot find the text box. I tried setting the background document color to Green, thinking that might make the text box appear, but no luck. What's a good way to find this (and other?) text boxes in this document and dispatch them, first ensuring that they contain no data? Lady Dungeness Crabby, but Great Legs! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
