VERY strange Word behavior-text boxes

I am trying to prepare a small grant proposal, which has much text, and
3 graphics with associated text boxes as figure legends. I started this
proposal by having 4 separate documents (Specific aims, Significance,
Preliminary Results, and Research Plan and Methods), which I have just
joined into the final document for final editing. At this point, I
won't mention my problems getting the figures to go, and stay, where I
want them. What I will bring up is another, very strange behaviour I am
seeing. Two of the text boxes have, for some reason known only to Word
(2004) become joined at the hip, as it were. One shows up as a text
box, while the second shows up as body text. If I try to edit the one
that shows up as body text, the text box also gets edited, so that the
two text boxes remain identical. What have I done to have this happen,
and, more importantly, how do I stop this stupid behavior.
BTW, PM G5 (Dual 2.0, RevA, 1 Gig RAM) running OSX.4.4 with all
updates. In addition, Office has all updates as well.
Thanks in advance,
Dave Fritzinger
