Why does the text in a text box disappear after a mail merge?

[pepperjeanb]

I have an established publisher file that I have mail merged and the text in
most, but not all, of the text boxes have disappeared. Any ideas why?

Could it be behind something? A border perhaps?

Will the text print even tho you can't see it?

Is the database in a new location preventing Publisher from connecting to
it?

It is not behind anything and it will not print. I did just notice that the
two text boxes are linked. One overflows into the other. The boxes are still
there but the text is gone. Could it be because of the link?

Without seeing the file I can't say. Why not save the file as a different
name and get rid of the link. See what happens. If it fixes it, yippee. If
it doesn't, we can try something else because you haven't messed with the
original file. Either way, let us know.
