When I create a new text box, it has info from previous textboxes
Gayla 30.08.2006 20:40:02
I'm working with a large Word document. (Ads for High School Football Program)
I create a shape outline for the frame (usually autoshapes). Ad a clip art
(or scanned image), I use WordArt for emphasis, and occasionally I draw a
text box for smaller detailed information. I layer the items as needed, then
group each ad before going on to the next ad.

When the file gets really huge, I start having a problem ONLY with the TEXT
BOXES... the information from a new text box will be displayed with the
information OR instead of the original information that was in a previous
text box. Sometimes when I try to draw a new text box, information from a
previous ad will already be in the new text box.

If I change or delete the information in one place, it changes/deletes the
information in both places. I don't know where the original text goes.

Any suggestions?

Hi =?Utf-8?B?R2F5bGE=?=,

Word 2003, I'm guessing?

This is a known problem and can usually be rectified by copying everything EXCEPT
the last paragraph mark into a new document. Or you can try saving to XML file
format, closing, re-opening and saving back to *.doc file format.
