unable to edit textbox
I am in Word 2003. I wanted to make a portrait page number on a landscape page. I used the option of creating a textbox, moving it and changing the text direction. I want to revise it, but it's grayed out and I have no idea what I can do. In format there is no option to format text box. Thanks! -- Colleen |

unable to edit textbox
Are you in the header/footer pane when you attempt this?

unable to edit textbox
Suzanne, no, I disconnected the footer from the rest of the document, left the footer blank and put my text box on the right hand side of the landscape page. I can't select the text box or text at all where I am now. Colleen. Suzanne S. Barnhill;2009184 Wrote: Are you in the header/footer pane when you attempt this? -- Suzanne S.

unable to edit textbox
If you can't select the text box when you are in the document body then
there's a good chance it *is* anchored to the footer. View | Header and Footer, switch to the footer, and see if you can select it. -- Suzanne S.

unable to edit textbox
Suzanne I went into the footer this morning by view header/footer. Once my cursor was in the footer, I could select the text box. I was not aware the text box would be connected in any way to the footer. I thought it was just a stand alone text box. In your opinion, is a text box the best way to create a portrait footer in a landscape page? Thanks for your help! Saved me a lot of puttering! Colleen. Suzanne S.
