Text appears to be in a textbox but can't be selected.
This Word document has numbers on the page that I can't select. They look
like they're in textboxes (they sort of float above the other text) but I can't select them. I don't think this is a template. I need to change these numbers! Please help. |

Highlight the text that is numbered and click on the numbering icon on your
toolbar. That should remove the numbers. -- Carol A. Bratt, MCP "SarahKabil" wrote: This Word document has numbers on the page that I can't select.

Carol,
Thanks for the suggestion, but these numbers are not part of a numbering scheme. It's more like a form, with a space for a number, and instead of typing the number in on the line someone created a textbox for the number, but now the textbox is somehow unchangeable. I can't even select the numbers. On the first page of the form there are textboxes with numbers in them that I can change, but starting on page 2 they are static. Hopefully that is more clear.

They could be page number frames or some other kind of frame or text box
anchored to the header. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...lyIndented.htm -- Suzanne S.
