I, personally, have run into all kinds of snags with Word when I've done graphics for my puzzles. Sometimes I've typed in one text box on a particular page and what I typed ended up in a text box on a different page!Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458293325369594900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570512522741409033.post-55797509745474960412019-05-21T12:49:18.865-07:002019-05-21T12:49:18.865-07:00I love this program.
