Text Box Hidden under body of text
I apparently have a text box that has moved underneath a paragraph. I can't
see it, but it shows when I print the document. Any suggestions for deleting it? |

First, go to Tools Options View and make sure the box for "Drawings" is checked. (Word considers a text box to be a type of graphic.) Now you may be able to see it on screen. Display the Drawing toolbar and click the large white arrow button ("Select Objects") near the left end. Move the mouse over the text box. If the cursor turns into a 4-way arrow, click it to select the box and then press Delete. If the cursor doesn't change, the text box may be in the header or footer layer -- select View Header and then try the Select Objects tool. And if you still can't see the text box even with the option set, you can try using the Select Objects tool to drag a selection rectangle around its general location. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Text Box Hidden under body of text
Sounds like the text box has been set up to be "behind the text". Can you
click around in the area where it is located, and get it to show up on your document? That is, can you get the little "box" to appear? If you can, then you should be able to click on one of the sides of the square and hit "Delete". If that doesn't work, let me know what happens and I'll try to duplicate the problem, so I can give you a better answer!

Text Box Hidden under body of text
Tried those...doesn't work. I currently trying a find and replace to see if
the word changes when replaced. It did change. So now I will try again, slower this time. AHAA! Got it. You know how typically the Find/Replace moves you from one Found to the Next and normally you can see the found word. Well it just found nothing on the page, but an anchor right in the middle of a paragraph. I drug the achor over to the margin and whallaaa, the missing text box reappeared. Mind you the anchor was 3 pages away from the text box! No wonder I could locate it locally where it was printing. Thanks anyway!
