I created a 60 sided A5 document in PS3.4

Almost on every page I used the following effect:

I created a black text frame. Inserted white text into it. Copied into
clipboard.

The main text was black on white textframes (as usual). I choosed the text
tool, gone to the right place in the main text and inserted (pasted) the
above mentioned black textframe as an anchored object.

Everything was fine, I printed the whole document and made a proofreading. I
corrected the printed doc, loaded back my document (for correcting the
errors i found), and the document contains now only the black anchored
textframes, and the text in them is NOWHERE!!!

All the anchored iff graphics and the main text are OK, but the anchored
text frames are now empty.

I tried to cut them and then paste with the object tool but nothing happened
(perhaps cutting an object and pasting as a "text" works, but vice versa
don't?)

Please help me on how could i get back my lost texts as it was a large
work...

Thanks in advance,

Peter

Sorry, but it shouldn't have worked at all. You can't anchor text frame.
Frameless text objects can be anchored.

And a frameless text object with a black fill containing text
with a white fill grouped over a black rectangle is what he
needed.
