Hi,
I am also working with text boxes in Windows 7 Word 2010. The text boxes are
providing "high entertainment" value as you indicate but my project is due
and before I abandon all the work done to date I am hoping you can help me.
Here is the problem:
NOTE: My document has sections and columns. Section 1 is the masthead.
Section 2 is three columns. I have two images already on the page. Both
images have text wrapping and are anchored to the first body paragraph in
section 2.
1. I select text in cols 2 and 3.
2. I click the Text box/Draw Text Box option in the Text group on the Insert
tab.
3. The text box jumps to the left side of the page (OK I get it - it is
anchored to that paragraph).
4. I set the height to 4.1 and the width to 4.65 in the Size group. The
text box resizes.
5. I click the Position button, I select Position in Bottom Right with
Square Text, I drag the anchor symbol to the margin left of the first body
paragraph in section 2.
6. I turn off display of paragraph marks, and the text box size changes back
to its original size.
7. I resize to the dimensions in step 4.
8. I apply the shape style Subtle Effect - Blue Accent 4.
NOTES:
For Step 5: The text box did not move to the bottom right as directed. It
moved to the middle right. I had to physcially drag the box to the bottom
right.
For Step 6: I lose the size and have to enter the dimensions again.
For step 8: I lose the size and the position and have to fix again.
This worked in Office 2007 so I am confused about why it is not working now.
I can send files if that would help you visualize the problems.
Thank you for your help with this...plc
