Text boxes playing up?

[browniebodrum]

When I click on the text box icon on the 'drawing' tool bar, a large box
appears with 'create your drawing here' in it, and when I try and paste text
into that, I get an error message. I'm sure this didn't used to happen...
How do I get a text box?

On the General tab of Tools | Options, clear the check box referring to a
drawing canvas. Then insert your text box as desired.
