text box and text

[d cook]

When I insert a text box the cursor is one inch below and one inch to the
right of the box and I can not type in the box. The relationship of the text
and box stays the same when I move the text box. I have tried to reset every
setting that I can find, but nothing helps. Does anyone have an answere?
Thanks,

Version of Word?

Have you activated any kind of protection for this document?

This certainly isn't ringing any bells...

By text box, I assume you mean the tool on the Drawing toolbar (just double
checking). And this is a checkbox and not a Rectangle?

What else is in the document; anything besides plain text? Is this happening in just
the one document, or all documents?

If you hold down CTRL when starting Word, type some text in the new document, then
insert a text box, can you use it?
