Other than the Parallels/VMWare solutions described in this thread, other VM solutions, and MAc's bootcamp feature (boot /either/ in Windows /or/ in Mac OS X), the best you can reasonably easily do from Office 2011 on Mac is read data from a.mdb (and possibly.accdb) in Excel using a 3rd-party ODBC driver. The text boxes, buttons, boxes, and other tools you use to add, edit, and display the data in a form or report. Controls Provides guides to help keep controls aligned horizontally and vertically and give your form a uniform appearance. Even though others can view the hidden text, none of the text in the document can be edited. If you need the text completely hidden, you would actually have to remove it from the document.

I just purchased MS Office 2013. Previously I used 2010. I encountered the same problem you described, which I never experienced with 2010...No matter how much I clicked on the text boxes in my document, I couldn't edit the text, or I'd only be able to do so after a really long period of clicking! Not efficient. Anyway, I basically went into the layout box and changed my text wrapping and all of a sudden I had access to all the text boxes in the document. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention to what I changed it from, or to, as I was just clicking away and hoping for the best. I went back into layout to see if I could figure it out. A couple times when I chose the text wrapping options 'tight' or 'square' it had the same effect of not allowing me to edit the text. Sorry I can't fully explain but maybe if you change whatever text wrapping option you currently have, it'll work. I also clicked on the options 'move with text' and 'fix position on page' so you could try those also. All the best to everyone having this problem!
