For some reason, I am suddenly unable to create an inline text box in Word
2000 (on Win 2000).

Word creates the text box with the "In Front of Text" option and when I go
to the Format Text Box dialog, Layout tab, the "Inline Text Box" selection is
greyed out.

Can anyone gve me a clue about what might be causing this?

TIA

Glenn

Word 2000 does not support placing text boxes in line with text. But
you can do the following: After you've inserted the desired text into
the text box, select and cut the text box, then paste it back in as a
picture (via EditPaste Special).
