MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / July 2005I can't exit design mode
I have designed a form in Word 2003 with text boxes. When I try to exit design mode the error message "Can't exit design mode because Control 'TextBox141211' can not be created" appears. I can't find text box 141211. Thanks Peter Hi =?Utf-8?B?UGV0ZXIgTEQ=?=, > I have designed a form in Word 2003 with text boxes.

You're using the ActiveX controls in the Controls Toolbox, I take it? Sounds like something might have "gone bad" in the document's internal structures. Are you able to copy all the text (without any controls) to a new document? And create the controls in that?

What I did is copy paste the whole contents of the document (Ctrl+A) to a brand new blank file and saved it. It worked.

It worked. OK, thanks for letting me know. I was hesitant to suggest this route, not knowing what, exactly, might have gone bad in the original file.
