Re: invisible text box in Word 2007

The excellent suggestions from others will probably help you resolve the
situation, but if not here's another weapon to use in the battle... And it
may prove useful at other times as well:

Click the Office button & select Word Options at the bottom of the menu.

Select Customize from the left list, then All Commands from the Choose
Commands From: list, locate the Select Multiple Objects command & add it to
your QAT. Once you use it you'll see exactly how it works.

I am using many graphics and text boxes in my document. At one point I
inadvertantly dragged a text box off the top of a page and the text box just
disappeared. Now it's causing me problems when I try to place another
picture and text box in the same area of the document. It's there, and it's
impacting my page layout, but I can't see it or delete it. I tried using
Word's find function. I know the invisible box has the literals "Go To
Special" as do two other text boxes in my documents (the two other text boxes
are visible and fine). Word tells me that it has found three instances of
"Go To Special" in the text boxes in my document, so I know that third box is
in there somewhere. I even tried using the highlight feature, but that third
box remains invisible. Any ideas how I can track down that rouge invisible
text box and kill it?
