Problem with WordXP text box (Repost)
I've been using text boxes for years and have never had this problem before.
Now, when I place a "text box" on a new page, a wide black band about 2" high appears across the bottom of the text box and I can't seem to get rid of it. |

hi billybob
have you tried using format / borders & shading and setting it to none - when the outside of the text box is furry (lots of little dots) as opposed to ////////// (to toggle between furry and diagonals, click on the outside of the text box) can you see it in print preview?

Thanks for your response, Julie. My problem isn't dots or diagonals. It's
a solid black band 2 inches high (at the bottom of the text box) runs from one side of the box to the other. There's nothing to highlight, move, or delete. I have no idea what caused this anomaly. Any additional help would be much appreciated. Thank you! |

Thanks, Graham! I'll check out the article. If it doesn't apply, I get back
to you and the NG. Say, I remember recently fooling around with creating some macros and templates. Do you think that I could have accidentally corrupted the Normal.dot template? |
