I created a scaled-down version of the document with only the mystery text box and one other regular text box and uploaded it here on Dropbox, it has 2 text boxes in the header and is macro-enabled with the following code: Option Explicit I would like to be able to find the 'hidden' text box and delete it, the problem is that I cannot determine which one is the 'hidden' text box. What I would like to do is to be able to determine what the difference is between this mystery text box and the other visible text boxes via VBA aside from the position, content, and order properties.

I can read and write its properties and even 'select' it but I can't see it in the document and can't tell it apart from other text boxes though VBA. The text box in question is not visible in the document and I cannot tell it apart from other text boxes in VBA aside from a slight position difference, content, and order in the document. I started by looping though the text boxes in the header of a Word document when I came across a hidden text box which I cannot find in the document though any other means. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Edit tab.I'm in the process of creating a set of macros to clean up and reformat specific MS Word documents. If the font that you are using does not contain a particular character, and you have cleared the Automatically substitute font for missing East Asian characters check box ( Tools menu, Options command, Edit tab), you see a small box in place of the missing character wherever that character occurs in your text. Select or clear the Automatically substitute font for missing East Asian characters check box. Turn font substitution on or off for missing East Asian characters To prevent a commercial printer or any other user from applying font substitution to the characters in your publication, you should embed the fonts in your publication before you send it to be printed. Then, whenever you see the small box instead of the missing character, you can manually substitute the small box with another font that contains the character you want. If you plan to take your publication to another computer or to a commercial printer, however, it is best to turn off automatic font substitution before you type any text into the publication. We recommend that you leave this check box selected if you plan to print your publication from your own computer. By default, the Automatically substitute font for missing East Asian characters check box is selected.

When the Automatically substitute font for missing East Asian characters check box is selected, Publisher automatically applies a substitute font to the missing East Asian character. If the font that you are using does not contain a particular character, and you have cleared the Automatically substitute font for missing East Asian characters check box ( File > Options > Advanced), you see a small box in place of the missing character wherever that character occurs in your text. Because font substitution may significantly affect the layout of your publication, you may want to avoid or turn off font substitution. Line breaks, column breaks, page breaks, line spacing, and hyphenation will likely change, even if the substitute font is similar to the missing font. In most cases, font substitution causes the text to flow differently. Missing East Asian characters are a special case and are handled separately from other fonts. When you open a publication in Publisher that contains fonts that aren't installed on your computer, you can select the options to temporarily or permanently substitute fonts on your computer for the missing fonts that are used in the publication.įont substitution is useful when you want to view your publication on another computer, and you want to make sure that the text remains readable no matter which fonts are available on other computers.

If a publication contains fonts that are neither on your computer nor embedded in the publication, the Microsoft Windows operating system provides default substitutes for the missing fonts.
