I do not have a drawing software so I am using Word 2002 to create a floor plan. This way it is more universal for future editing. Since it is not very detailed Word will do. I have two page in it with many text boxes. I used text boxes to label rooms. After about 40 text boxes I am running into a problem. The problem: For some reason I cannot add any more text box. If I create a new one, it links to the last one and copies the text from that box. If I create ten new ones it does the same to those too. I checked the "Break Link" button and it is grayed out. That means Word does not see any link to any boxes. I do not have any macros running. I converted the new text box to frame but I ran into problem with that one too. I cannot put frames on the next page. I will appreciate any help. Thanks. Ronjon

this doesn't solve your problem but it might be a work around - why not use wordart for the labeling, it is free floating so can be placed anywhere and can be formated to look like normal text Techy n Welsh

Good idea. I will try that.
