moving a text box
Using Word 2003. Whenever I try to move a text box around on the page, it
will someytimes just jump up to the top of the page, no matter where I was trying to move it in the first place. It usually happens when I am dragging the box down the page, then when I let go of the mouse button, the text box jumps up to the top. Is this a setting I need to change? Any thoughts? |

moving a text box
Hi ?B?SlNwZW5jZTIwMDM=?=,
Using Word 2003. Whenever I try to move a text box around on the page, it will someytimes just jump up to the top of the page, no matter where I was trying to move it in the first place. It usually happens when I am dragging the box down the page, then when I let go of the mouse button, the text box jumps up to the top. This can happen if the document starts to get damaged, internally. Unless things really start to go completely haywire, I'll resort to the Layout/advanced options in the "Format" dialog box to whip it back into line.

moving a text box
The layout is set for "in front" of the text, so I don't know what to do.
Just be annoyed when trying to move them. What did you mean the document is damaged internally? "Cindy M." wrote: Hi ?B?SlNwZW5jZTIwMDM=?=, Using Word 2003.

moving a text box
Hi ?B?SlNwZW5jZTIwMDM=?=,
The layout is set for "in front" of the text, so I don't know what to do. Click the "Advanced" button and you'll get a dialog box where you can type in the position Just be annoyed when trying to move them. What did you mean the document is damaged internally? Word documents are very complex beasts, behind the scenes. If your computer so much as hiccups or sneezes while you have one open, it can (doesn't have to, but can) "scramble" things up. You may never notice it; the document become irrecoverable; but more commonly things start to behave "oddly" when Word tries to deal with the problems. Depending on the severity (and your version of Word), there are various approaches for recovering the part of the document that you see and is therefore important to you.
