Default HELP! Textbox seems linked to drawing object.

Okay, I have a "flowchart" that I built in my document by using rectangles
and arrows. I right-click the rectangle and select "add text". This worked
fine. No problem.

The next day, I opened my document and went to a different page halfway
through the document and tried to add a textbox by clicking the textbox icon
and selecting an area on the page. When I do, the text from the previously
mentioned box mysteriously populates in my new text box and disappears from
the previous rectangle. The rectangle (one of about 50 in my document)
seems to be somehow linked to any new text box I create.

Please help me to get rid of this link so I can go on adding objects in my
document without wiping out one that I created twenty pages back!

THANKS!!!!
