The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, versions 2.x, 3.x, and 4.0 == 

= SYMPTOM =

When you create a text object and then draw a filled or shaded box to provide a background for the text, the text may seem to disappear.

= RESOLUTION =

The text object is layered behind the box. You must place the text in front of the box by doing the following:


 * 1) Select the box.
 * 2) From the Edit menu, choose Send To Back.

This procedure sends the box to the back of PowerPoint’s stack of objects. The Title is always at the bottom of the stacking order, except on the Slide Master where it is always on the top of the stacking order.

Another solution is to select the box and move it so that the text object can be selected. Then, move the text object onto the box.
