Publisher 2007 Copy and Paste

[Joy]

How does one prevent a new text box from being formed inside another
previously created text box?

I receive articles for a sixteen page quarterly newsletter by e-mail
and I open and save and edit such articles in MS Word 2007.

When previously using Publisher 2000, I would just need to copy the
entire article from MS Word 2007 and then paste it in the text box
that had already been created in the newsletter.

With Publisher 2007 when I copy the entire article in MS Word 2007 and
paste it within the previously created text box in the newsletter, a
brand new text box appears within the previously created text box.

The text box sizes on each page of this quarterly newsletter are pre-
established, so, to have to create a new text box for each article on
each page of the newsletter for each quarter would be way too time
consuming. It's so much easier to do it as I had been doing in the
past with copying the article text and pasting it directly into
established text boxes.

I keep telling myself that it's "user error" but I just can't figure
out what is happening here or how to correct it.

Any suggestions?

I am not seeing your issue.

Be certain your cursor is in your created text box before you paste, otherwise
Publisher will create a new text box.

You may do better by right-clicking your text box, click change text, click text
file, browse to the Word document.

The darnest thing is happening .. I'm not seeing the issue anymore
either! (SMILE)
I haven't got a clue as to why I can no longer duplicate the problem
of the double text box.
Thank you for your suggestions! ... If the gremlin shows up again,
I'll try the methods you noted to see if that corrects it.
