Text boxes mysteriously moving

[Joe Buck]

Hi All,

I'm editing a large Word 2007 docx. with lots of text boxes, symbols
special characters etc. and I've recently discovered that a text bo
with multiple numbers displays correctly on the screen but when I prin
a page, it moves the numbers to the wrong places, as well as some of th
symbols are moved and in the wrong places on the document, it only doe
it on certain pages with certain text boxes. If I go to print preview
it will sometimes show that the text boxes are moved and are misaligned
when they're SUPPOSED to be in a certain place but somehow they just ge
'moved', why is it doing this?? HELP ME! This is for my business and I'
about at my wits-end!

In summary: invisible text boxes with numbers above a line of text i
displayed correctly, but when I get a printed page the numbers ar
somehow 'moved'

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated...

Thanks,

Jo

Have you checked the document in print layout view and draft view?

I've seen problems in the past where documents use text boxes but have
text that's visible in draft view only. It might be worth checking the
different views in case this helps.

How is the position of the text boxes determined? Relative to page, margin,
paragraph, character, line?

Steve,

I have checked the document in print layout, sometimes it shows that th
text boxes have moved to unwanted places (usually a tab or two to th
right) but sometimes it doesn't show that either and still prints out i
the wrong place... How do I fix it?!

Thanks,

Jo
