Text boxes acting strangely
I am using Word 2002 SP3 on a Windows XP machine (all latest updates
installed). While building a new template, I discovered that the text boxes are suddenly acting strangely. Everything works just fine for a while, text boxes and all. Then, out of the blue, when I create a new text box, it already contains text...taken from another existing text box, leaving it empty and unable to accept new text (it looks like a text box but won't let you type anything into it). This is driving me crazy, and I have a deadline. Can someone explain--and hopefully fix--this problem? -- Greg in L.A. |

Text boxes acting strangely
I have this problem, and it seems that the corrupt element here is Microsoft.
So far, all my documents created in WORD 2000 (and I have hundreds), misbehave in WORD 2003. I have just deleted a graphic on page 4, only to have another graphic, on page 45, disappear. In another document, I can't insert a text box without it automatically including the contents of another, existing text box. As far as I can see, WORD 2003 is not fit for use. If I can't get any improvement, I'll have to ask my IT department to 'downgrade' me to a working installation of W2000.
