Has anyone any idea how to prevent a text box that's in a graph from
disappearing when the graph is selected, but reappearing when cursor is back
in the spreadsheet? This never used to happen before, but only recently has
begun occuring with our graphs. Thanks!

Hi,

That behavior would suggest the textbox is not embedded in the chart but
just placed over it. Can you move the textbox away from the chart?
If yes then delete the textbox and then select the chart and paste.

Cheers
Andy

The text box and the chart need to be grouped. If you had selected (clicked)
the cart before making the box this would have been automatic. Can be fixed:
1) Right click chart: Send to back
2) Hold CTRL and click box so that both are selected
3) Right click and use Group
