Can't exit design mode because Control 'TextBox' cannot be created

R

I get the following VBA message when I try to switch from the design mode of
a text box in a Word document:

Can't exit design mode because Control 'TextBox' cannot be created

I initially inserted a text box from the control toolbox in word and was
able to input text. Upon opening the document later, Word converted the
textbox into a picture. I receive the above message when I click on this
picture and try to bring it out of design mode.

support.microsoft.com recognizes this as a bug, but refers to this problem
only in the context of when a control toolbox is added to the normal
template, not to a regular document.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
