Hi
Word 2003
I have never seen anything this crazy before:
I have many drawings in my Word doc.
In one particular drawing, I have a "box" with some text boxes within.
Now, I don't recall if this (mystery) "box" was created origianlly as
a rectangle or a text box . When right clicking it says "format
autoshape" so perhaps that means it is a rectangle rather than a text
box.
At any rate, there are several text boxes within (well, on, I guess is
really correct) and I can change text
seperately in each one except one troublesome area.
Actually, there is text in the middle of this "box" that behaves very
very odd. (this is the troublesome area)
If I try to edit the text, I can never see the I beam in there on the
text, but deleting and typing affects the text.
Then I deleted all the text and then, I tryed to create another text
box in the same drawing. Pow! Whatever I type into the new text box,
overwrites the text in the middle of the (mystery) "box"
Furthermore, there are a few other drawings several pages both up and
down -from this one- whose text is also
affected by the creation of the new text box? What ever I type into
the new text box OR the location of the original text in the (mystery)
"box" also shows up down below in the other drawings !!
What the heck? It seems there are magic places in the doc that are all
connected. What could be causing this and how can I find and remove
this invisible mysterious link between boxes ?
driving me nuts
Thanks
Jeff
