Hi Diane,
If you are experiencing a crash when you attempt to insert a text box
then your problem is not the same as Doug's. :-)
What happens if you go to Tools/Options/General and turn off
"Automatically create drawing canvas when inserting AutoShapes"?
Additionally what patches do you have installed? Take a look under
Help/About to find this information.
Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
