Text boxes not printing

[Edward]

I don't know what happened.

Suddenly, when I insert a text box, it shows up fine while I create it but
it is not there when printed.
It does not show up in the Print Preview either.

I can't seem to find any setting that will correct this.

Any help would be fantastic!

Thanks

In Word 2003 and earlier, go to Tools > Options > Print and check the box
for "Drawing objects". (Word considers text boxes to be drawing objects.)

In Word 2007, the equivalent is to go to Office button > Word Options >
Display and check "Print drawings created in Word".
