First sorry for my bad english, but suddenly my word has been feeling weird, specifically the textbox editor, you can see below how in word looks weird and doesn't even have a preview while moving it and in power point looks just like usual.

    It looks like your issue isn't with the text box but with drawing objects. Is it that you don't want a drawing canvas? At File | Options | Advanced: Editing options, clear the check box for "Automatically create drawing canvas when inserting AutoShapes."

    Is Spanish your native language? There is a category for Spanish if you find it more convenient to post in that language.

    Good day! I'm Raniel, a Microsoft user like you. I understand your frustration regarding this issue and I'll do my best to help.

    Just to clarify, did you make any changes to your machine before encountering this issue (installing add-ins, etc.)? Do you also experience it when you start MS Word in safe mode? Please refer to this article as a guide: https://support.microsoft.com/office/open-offic...

    I also suggest that you repair your MS Office application: https://support.microsoft.com/office/repair-an-...

    I hope this helps. Good luck!

    I repaired my office application but it didn't fix, safe mode doesnt seem to fix it either, i don't recall making any changes like add-ins or anything like that. :(
