Word is not the best application to use if you need that many text boxes.
What are you trying to accomplish? There may be a better way to do it.

I am using a lot of text boxes in a particular Word doc. I have already
inserted about 20 text boxes on one page. All of the sudden, now, every
text
box I insert takes on the text of an already existing box. I have not
linked
the boxes in any way. Why is this happening and how can I stop it?
