Can't select text box
I have copied and pasted several text boxes and now I cannot grab the text
boxes to move them within the document. Is there a way to reverse this or correct this? I may have changed the original text box layout to "behind text" - not sure if that would be part of the problem. |

If the text box is still not selectable, try these steps:
If you're still having trouble selecting the text box, it's possible that it's grouped with other objects in the document. Here's how to ungroup the objects:
I hope one of these solutions works for you!

Can't select text box
Click the Select arrow on the Drawing toolbar. That will let you select
objects (including text boxes) that are behind the text. -- 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. mairea8 wrote: I have copied and pasted several text boxes and now I cannot grab the text boxes to move them within the document.
