text box not displaying text

[Kevin]

I have been given a Word file with several pictures--I'm not sure if
these particular ones are GIF/JPG, or GIF, but each has several text
boxes with text reversed out (printing as white against the dark
background).

When I insert this file into a new Word file using Insert > file, the
reversed-out type displays and prints as it does in the original, but
the type in one of the text boxes overlapping the same image
disappears. I've examined the properties of the "successful" text box
and compared it with the "disappeared" text box, and haven't been able
to determine what the problem is. Any ideas?

Found it: for reasons beyond me, inserting the file produced an image
with a change: under the Paragraph properties for the text boxes that
failed, the Indentation Left was reset to 2.5 and the Hanging indent
was also set to 2.5. Resetting these to 0 made the disappeared text
reappear.
