Re: Linked text in autoshapes?

Thanks, Cindy. The layered text boxes were something I'd encountered once
before when Barney was trying to add labels to charts inserted from Excel
(because he couldn't get the built-in labels to work right). He kept
starting over without deleting existing text boxes and ended up with quite a
stack!

Hi Suzanne,

Cindy, do you have any information on or impression of whether there is
a
difference between copying/pasting and using Duplicate?

No, I've never encountered anyone with the corruption problem who's said
they used "Duplicate". I think that command is so well hidden that most
people never discover it. (I know I forget it's there.)

The problem you describe with the multiple graphics is one I've
encountered
personally, any number of times. You paste, think nothing has happened,
try
again... And that can, indeed, damage the document at some point (even
without the "known problem" of adding text to an AutoShape). I think it
might have something to do with all the anchors sitting in the exact same
place.
