Text Boxes on Charts not showing up

Has anyone experienced this? I've got a chart in a
spreadsheet and I add text boxes to the graph section.
They appear on the page yet when I click off the page,
the text box disappears. If I go to print preview, the
text boxes are there so why can't I see them on the
screen? I've tried the bring forward command but that
didn't work. This is also sporadic as some of my text
boxes stay in place why others seem to disappear.

Sue -

If the chart is selected when you draw the text box, the text box
becomes part of the chart. If not, the text box just floats along in the
drawing layer with the chart. It may be above the chart, but as soon as
you select the chart, any other objects in the drawing layer become
transparent over your chart, so you can deal with just the chart. I
suspect that some of your text boxes are in the charts, and some are not.
