1.Text boxes keep moving after Format:Text Box:Layout:Advanced:

I'm using Word 2008 (12.1.5), OS X 10.5.6.  I am trying to having two-column 
text flow around tables and figures that I place in text boxes that I am 
trying to anchor.  After inserting and formatting the text boxes, I find that 
revisions to certain text, or changing the spacing between certain  text 
boxes and the text causes the text box to 'jump' to another page.  Only 
certain text boxes seem to be 'volatile', but I cannot discern what setting I 
may have implemented to cause this.

I use the Format:Text Box:Layout:Advanced path  and set the text boxes with 
absolute measurements relative to the margins.  I have been activating the 
'Lock Anchor' option, but no other option.  I do not activate the 'Move 
object with Text' option.  I cannot detect any sign that I inadvertantly 
formatted the text to affect the text box position.  I cannot extract any 
help from the Help.

2.Search for text box formatted to Layout: In line with text

Hi.

I've managed to set up a macro that hides the content of all text boxes in 
my document by searching for each text box and setting the contents' font 
colour to white.  However, it only seems to find text boxes that haven't been 
formatted to 'Layout: In line with text'.

Does anybody know way to search for and edit these text boxes as well as the 
others?

Here is the code that I am using:

Sub HideAnswers()

' Find each text box and set it's font colour to white

Dim aShape As Shape

For Each aShape In ActiveDocument.Shapes

   If aShape.Type = msoTextBox Then

      aShape.Select
      Selection.Font.Color = wdColorWhite
      
   End If

Next

End Sub

Any help would be really appreciated.

Cheers,

Dan.

3.How do I stop text in text boxes affecting text in other text box

5.Text box formatting moves text box

In normal Word usage I can change the text margins and size of a text box 
using the Format Text Box dialogue and the text box stays in the same 
position. However, when I try to do the same operations while recording a 
macro the text box gets moved to the top left corner of the page when I click 
on OK. How can I stop this happening, or at least edit the macro so the 
position of the text box is not altered?

Grateful for assistance.
