1st, Shauna Kelly, thanks for getting me here.

I am working with MS Word at work (no administrative permissions). With some
help from a friend, I set up a text box where I enter a string I want to
find. If you know what to search for, you can pull the data from a .txt file
into a list box.

The other day, all of a sudden, the VB doesn't work anymore. I try to click
in the text box  and handles appear whether I am in design mode or edit mode;
furthermore, I can delete all my VB objects.

Any ideas at all?

Thanks,
