word 2003 document in normal view

[jonoX]

I have been using the frx2word, which has worked very well until recently ( this converts a visual foxpro report to a word document. It does this by using text boxes)
a user upgraded to 2003 word. Now when the report is converted you cannot view the content in the view/normal mode but if you view/print layout all the content can be seen. Do you know how I can reveal the content in the normal view.

ps if I insert a new textbox this is also hidden in the normal view

This is absolutely normal behaviour. You cannot see drawing objects in Normal View and I cannot remember that you ever could ever see drawing objects in Normal View either. Drawing objects are in a different layer and the Normal View can only show the Text Layer.

However, Frames are in the Text Layer and can be seen in Normal View. Are you sure that frx2Word is putting text into Text Boxes and not Frames?
