SYMPTOMS
Using the Context Sensitive Help (or "What's This?") button to reveal the formatting of text does not reveal the formatting of text inside a text box.



CAUSE
Text boxes do not reside in the text layer; instead, they reside in one of the drawing layers above or below the text layer. By design, Microsoft Word does not reveal formats in the drawing layers.



MORE INFORMATION
In Microsoft Word 7.x, the Help button to reveal the formatting of text reveals Frame Formatting around a text box, but does not reveal the formatting of the text in the text box.
