Regular text changed into individual text boxes
I developed a small template into which I copied regular text from a word
document into (it is the size of a notecard meant to be cut out and copied by students). Anyhow, when I went back in to the template document, all of the text that I had copied and pasted (regular text) now was appearing as small, individual text boxes. Any idea of why that would happen and how I can get it back to normal text without being text boxes? |

Regular text changed into individual text boxes
Generally, when text suddenly appears "boxed in," I'd suspect frame
formatting rather than text boxes. If you right-click the border of one of the "boxes," which command can you then see on the right-click (context) menu? Format Frame or Format Text Box? Also, please tell me which version of Word you are using. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "DrMarsha" wrote in message ...

Regular text changed into individual text boxes
When I right click on any of the boxes, I have options like Format AutoShape,
or Create Text Box link...all I remember doing is cutting and pasting from either Word or PowerPoint into this box template, but certainly not with the intention of having 500 individual text boxes...I am using Office 2003...

Also, the "border" around these numerous text boxes produces on right click;
Format Drawing canvas, if that is significant at all.

Sorry, but I have no idea how this could have happened, unless the text was
pasted in a Metafile format (which can be chosen in the Edit | Paste Special dialog box). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "DrMarsha" wrote in message ...
