Post a drawing with the offending text in it so someone here can take a look at it.

Hi, thanks for the ideas, however; Text is on a text layer and isn't locked or frozen or anything. I have just opened the dwg and nearly all text was 'available' in PS . A few instances weren't though (strangely, these were texts that I had copied from one location to another, and the copied locations were available). I went into MS, then back to PS, and none of the text is now available, except for a couple of bits I typed yesterday.
Its a strange one....

Probably the layer in which the text was written is locked for editing. Open the layer dialog box and unlock all layers and then try to modify.

Is the text on a layer called Defpoints?

Is layer "0" frozen by any chance?

Hi,
I have text on a layout in paper space. Suddenly I can't highlight it - I need to amend it. New text is fine, but the text older text which was all typed in the same drawing session is 'locked away'. There is nothing on the layers which looks suspicious - any ideas?
cheers.
